Blackbird
Dressed in robes of white
But these aren't wedding bells
That strike the hour of our love
So dance, dance, for the master
'Cause it's not peace we've found
Just one knife, dropping from above
Brother, won't you come
Brother, won't you come
Brother, come to the party's grave
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run, run away
'Cause blackbird sings today
We walk through the valley
Of shadows cast on walls
Eyes down, 'cause you don't want to fall
We walk through the darkness
And pray for the light to come
And we can't find our house of God
Brother, won't you come
Brother, won't you come
Brother come to the party's gate
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run, run away
'Cause blackbird sings today
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
Lie down before the master
'Cause he needs blood for all
Brother, won't you come
Brother, won't you come
Brother come to the party's gate
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run, run away
Brother, won't you come (run)
Brother, won't you come (run)
Brother, come to the party's gate (run, run)
Sister, don't you run (run)
Sister, don't you run (run)
Sister, don't you run, run away (run)
'Cause blackbird sings today
But these aren't wedding bells
That strike the hour of our love
So dance, dance, for the master
'Cause it's not peace we've found
Just one knife, dropping from above
Brother, won't you come
Brother, won't you come
Brother, come to the party's grave
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run, run away
'Cause blackbird sings today
We walk through the valley
Of shadows cast on walls
Eyes down, 'cause you don't want to fall
We walk through the darkness
And pray for the light to come
And we can't find our house of God
Brother, won't you come
Brother, won't you come
Brother come to the party's gate
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run, run away
'Cause blackbird sings today
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, ooh
Lie down before the master
'Cause he needs blood for all
Brother, won't you come
Brother, won't you come
Brother come to the party's gate
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run
Sister, don't you run, run away
Brother, won't you come (run)
Brother, won't you come (run)
Brother, come to the party's gate (run, run)
Sister, don't you run (run)
Sister, don't you run (run)
Sister, don't you run, run away (run)
'Cause blackbird sings today
