The Crows Have Come For Me

Wings flutter by,

A heavy beating in the sky,

An army dressed in coal-black feathers

Searching, preying, from above.


I stare up at the host,

The extensive murder of crows,

Circling round and round my head

'Till I'm so dizzy I daren't look up.


Their cackling fills my ears,

Getting louder, getting louder,

Stabbing deep into my skull,

A piercing pounding in my head.


The crows have come for me:

I am their chosen prey.

I cannot hide, I cannot run,

I am as good as dead.


A sense of doom fills my heart,

My fate is written in the stars,

I have no hope, my cause is lost,

I cannot fight the crows.


They circle closer, flying faster,

Oh! The time has come.

For blood and anguish,

Gore and carnage,


Devour my flesh and bones.
