Just one feather on my pillow
That’s all it took to pull me in
Just one feather on an otherwise flat bed
That’s all it took to hear the call
That’s all it took to pull me in
The commanding caw of the oil black crow
That’s all it took to follow that song
Haunting deeper than bone and marrow
The commanding caw of the oil black crow
Came calling calling calling in my ever deep sleep
Haunting in the endless deep soul
Leaving the black blot stain of ink behind
Came the calling calling calling in my deep sleep
She my muse whispers to me
Tattooing the thin skin of my passion
Deep ancient goddess she
She my muse that whispers to me
Pulling me deeper in and farther on
Oh deity before gods inspiring the hand of poets
Lady chaos bringing order
Pulling me and beckoning me ever deeper
To the hungry hands of the poem write
Madam midnight of the endless abyss bringing inspiration
Open your wings and set to flight
To the hungry hands of the poem write
Upon the papyrus of my history inscribe
Open your wings to carry me o’er the endless sea
My soul cries out, “Feed me!”
Upon the papyrus of my history inscribe
That I will not to that faceless fire go
My soul so hungry, feed
Awake in me the deeper passion still
That I will not to that faceless fire go
Old crow what story do you know
Awake in me the deeper lust for life
Just one feather on my pillow
