INSOMNIUM
"Song Of The Blackest Bird"
(Ville Friman / Niilo Sevanen / Ville Vanni)

[Intro:]
For above the darkling world
Soars the blackest bird
For above the darkling world
It sings the saddest song

And those who hear its cry

Those who hear it will go astray
Those who hear it will wither away
And nothing besides they hear
Nothing besides they think anymore

[Pre-Chorus:]
They will turn
They will turn
They will turn away from the sun
They will turn
They will turn
They will turn against themselves

[Chorus - Whispered]
At the midmost night
Each midmost night
Upon Death's palm
The bird will rest a while

And gently Death will speak
Softly Death will hum and whisper
"Fly again my bird
Fly again over the world"

[Chorus:]
At the midmost night
Each midmost night
Upon Death's palm
The bird will rest a while

And gently Death will speak
Softly Death will hum and whisper
"Fly again my bird
Fly again over the world"

Those who hear it will bow their heads
Those who hear it will find no rest
And black as a dream is now their way
For into the shades they all shall fade

[Pre-Chorus:]
They will turn
They will turn
They will turn away from the sun
They will turn
They will turn
They will turn against themselves

[Chorus - Whispered:]
At the midmost night
Each midmost night
Upon Death's palm
The bird will rest a while

And gently Death will speak
Softly Death will hum and whisper
"Fly again my bird
Fly again over the world"

[Chorus:]
At the midmost night
Each midmost night
Upon Death's palm
The bird will rest a while

And gently Death will speak
Softly Death will hum and whisper
"Fly again my bird
Fly again over the world"

[Outro:]
For above the darkling world
Soars the blackest bird
For above the darkling world
It sings the saddest song
