On “Calling All Crows”, an ominous track referencing the work of gloomy American Gothic writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe, lead singer Nicholas Matthews and guitarist Bradley Iverson despair amidst an abandoned waste, where all hope is gone, and only dust remains. As time spirals on, the track disinte...
[Verse 1: Nicholas Matthews]
We paced these halls when I was young
If walls could talk, they'd speak of love
Now cold and calm and left to dust
Kept locked away because what’s done is done
[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
I felt your soul leave your body
All the memories we made only haunt me
So far away
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews]
Past city lights, there were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide, what a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights
[Verse 2: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Past all the lights through all the thorns
Crows pick at corpses calling, "Nevermore"
Oh, but in the end, you slipped through my fingertips
The clock won’t stop for anything
[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
I felt your soul leave your body (Oh)
Now all the memories we made only haunt me
So far away
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews]
Past city lights, there were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide, what a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights
[Bridge: Nicholas Matthews]
My stomach turned inside out
My world got flipped upside down
You turned this place to a ghost town
No one can hear me now
All is lost at the bottom of oblivion
All is lost at the bottom of us
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews]
Past city lights (City lights), there were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die (Left to die)
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide), what a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white (Black and white)
Somewhere past city lights
[Outro: Nicholas Matthews]
No, no way in hell I'll reach you in time!
