Divided Unity

Starling

Five little birds on a wire they said

Five little birds flying over my head

Five little birds, although one of them's dead

Four little birds on a wire instead.

Where will you fly, little Starling above?

Peaceful and caring, a sky-speckled dove,

Tell, little bird, what our lives are made of?

Crazed mirror shards and the promise of love.

Four little birds singing innocent dread

Four little birds flying unto the end

Four little birds, although one more is dead

Three little birds on a wire instead.

Where will you fly, little Starling above?

Peaceful and caring, a sky-speckled dove,

Tell, little bird, what our lives are made of?

Crazed mirror shards and the promise of love.

Three little birds that are missing their friends

Three little birds, none of whom can pretend

Three little birds, yet another is dead

Two little birds on a wire instead.

Where will you fly, little Starling above?

Peaceful and caring, a sky-speckled dove,

Tell, little bird, what our lives are made of?

Crazed mirror shards and the promise of love.

Now we've decided it's time for farewell

See to the skies or be burning in hell

One little bird has a story to tell

But there's no little birds, because all of them fell.

Where will you fly, little Starling above?

Peaceful and caring, a sky-speckled dove,

Tell, little bird, what our lives are made of?

Crazed mirror shards and the promise of love.
