I am The Crow

Press play.



My secret name comes from Babylonian mythology


Where it never used to snow 


Are you lonely and want to escape to my Chateau 


Where the buffalo and elk hide in time

In its long shadows


Just look in that bathroom mirror 


Light a red candle and whisper


Come for me at three

Yuyu Hakusho


Take me through time to Babylon 

To your Chateau


Where it never used to snow


Show me what's behind this world filled with so many 


Visiting corrupt bordellos

Their last picture show 


Take me willingly 

For I have a deep desire to really know


And I'll come 

Like a flying crow

From through time


From my archipelago 

In Babylon

Where it still doesn't snow


If you're ready like a domino 

To fall to the floor 


When you hear my footsteps 

As I open up your bedroom door
