Having decided to write a song about Crows (we are after all, Crowwommyn), this song was given to Marilyn Krowommn by the Goddess, as she kept Marilyn awake all night learning the complicated chorus! Marilyn wrote the verses, so it is a collaborative effort! In concert, everyone sings this piece, but on this recording, all the voices are Marilyn and Laura, overdubbed and overdubbed some more. The percussion is by Ian and Marilyn.
This song is lucky track 13 on our album Pantheon: Honoring the Pagan Divine. The whole album is available for sale here on Bandcamp, and this song can also be purchased as an individual digital download.
Crows was sponsored by the Leftwich-Cooper families, in honor of the magic of family, both far and near.
Lyrics
Crows~
It’s a murder of Crows, it’s a murder of Crows, it’s a murder of Crows.
It’s a murder of Crows, it’s a murder of Crows, it’s a murder of Crows (See them fly).
Crows~
See them fly, watch them fly, see them fly, watch them fly, see them fly.
See them fly, watch them fly, see them fly, watch them fly, see them fly.
Queen of the High Skies, Lord of the Wind Rise, Shaman within and beyond.
Sing us your loud cries, see us with bright eyes, guide us as we journey on.
Wings bring a blessing, spirit refreshing, feeling your love and support.
Hold us, embracing, challenges facing, gift of your song in our heart.
It’s a murder of Crows.
