Commandment 4

[Verse 1]
We worked hard today
But the work ain't done
While we were in the fields
Our homes were overrun
Don't wipe your boots off, boys
Leave your hats in place
Ring the bells to warn
Just don't lift up your face

[Chorus]
The sky, it could be darkening
Whenever the beast might choose
Let us halt their conspiring
By commencing the pigeon shoot

[Verse 2]
Our fathers welcomed them
To carry their petty notes
These birds are obsolete
So we must help them go
Our mothers reared us both
Pigeon's milk we've shared
Now we have hollow bones
Our home's become a lair

[Chorus]
The sky, it could be darkening
Whenever the beast might choose
Let us halt their conspiring
By commencing the pigeon shoot

[Bridge]
Hunting with pellets

[Verse 3]
There are suspicious stains
Throughout our land
Every year, new ones show
From our guns, the young squads disband
Now all the birds are gone
We've still got some shells
For all who've treated us wrong
You'd best prepare yourselves

[Chorus]
The sky, it could be darkening
Whenever the beast might choose
Let us halt their conspiring
By commencing the pigeon shoot
