about

An angel sent from Heaven is tasked to walk amongst the humans of Earth and report back their findings. They observe that humans now have a taste for violence, greed, and hate. Initially, they attempt to steer them back onto their original course, one of love and compassion. Until...

Three birds, blacker than midnight, perch upon the angel's halo and speak in tongues native to the divine, persuading them to relish in bloodshed. Over time, the angel becomes convinced that mankind is justified in their malice. Their halo falls and they go mad. Dying is now preferable to the shame of returning to Heaven tainted, and ensures that the angel will be able to wage war everlasting.

Can you hear that sound?

Crows! Crows!! Crows!!!

lyrics

oh, father sun, oh, mother moon, the children you have made
have started teaching one another how to lie and cheat and hate
and if they hate enough, they'll take their grudges to the grave
they're learning how to kill each other faster every single day
you'll find them shadowboxing until their hands start to bleed
covet what they can't have and taking as they please
father sun, mother moon, the children have grown older
it's too late now to get the chips off of their shoulders

oh, father sun, oh, mother moon, the children misbehave!
they say it's 'cause you didn't listen when they tried to pray
and though they've grown to spite you,
still they'll sometimes call for thee
"my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"
a rabbit, a roach, a rat, a rose
bad habits don't tend to go away on their own, i suppose
i try to prove myself to them
i lose, i lose, i lose again
i'm not exactly sure if it's worth it, though

where angel wings are clipped and souls are sold
i want to die here, i don't ever want to grow old
dogs of war don't come back the same
i'm going to die here so i never have to change
they hate people like me back home
i want to die here so i never have to go
i want to stay for eternity
i'm going to die here so i never have to leave
