lyrics

The crashing of timbers
And the loosing of stones
Among the ancient tree tops
Where the rock face looms
Among the boughs of cedar
Broken wing whip and spur
Wound, woo, trap and pit
The Great Lord God Bird

Sweet singing bird
Fleet of wing and swift as wind
Sweet singing bird
Fly like the sun dips down behind the earth
Bright over fields of grain
Wheels made of carnelion
Chariots made of gold
Spears tipped with obsidian

Before them howled the dogs
To cast the people into flocks
Of the Great Lord God Bird

Flocks of the Great Lord God Bird

Remember how it embraced us
Remember how it sang songs about us
Remember how it attacked us
On that day
When we laid down like worms
Picked off by the Great Lord God Bird
