Song of the Sparrow:
Who killed Cock Robin?
"The Sparrow," they said
"He wants them all dead
To him honey-sweet is their sobbin'."
Song of the Owl:
The Owl who forgot the sky
Resigned to his poor earthbound state
Hungry of full didn't matter at all,
He ate and he ate and he ate.
Song of the Thrush:
The grass the Thrush so loved to eat
Gave him sweet happiness
He sank ever deeper and finally fell
To destruction and fatal distress.
Song of the Robin:
Cock Robin, who hid the key away
Is ash in the oven all right.
The place he held is empty now
And the doors remain shut tight.
Song of the Lark:
The Lark's child lost all his words
And walled himself up all away.
Heart and mouth both locked up tight
In a cage where no one want to stay.
Song of the Dove:
The Dove's hope died, he chose his path
His flapping wings fell still
Drenched in scarlet there he lay
His cheeks pale white an chill.
Song of the Linnet:
He seeks out her soul by his own black ambition.
Frightening her out of her wits
Whispering love songs in her ear
What cruel Linnet wants, he gets.
Song of the Rook:
The black Rook is the praying sort
Who hears the gods in the skies
His whispered petitions go on without end
And glassy and dim are his eyes.
Song of the Wren:
The Wren with pure heart as yet unrefined
Makes us laugh unto his feeble lip-smacking
But still we all know he shall never grow old
And he knows not how much he is lacking.
Song of the Kite:
The Kite hot, crazy and panting mad
Sweet shackles that tease and excite
Death itself would drive him wild
Red blood that turns milky white.

Burn the one who knows no death
Pure, adored by those above
No prayers within, just simple love
And now the pining hunter
The flames longing for his rebirth
A distant flame within the earth.
Burn up that heavy body of his
Make it wind, dancing in the sky
That bottomless gut now a cloud, now a sigh
The sweet blood on his laughing lips
Now calls him to the gates of hell
There burns evermore that soulless shell.
Four bodies return to ashes
Thus the door is opened
Thus the door is opened
