i have rode these hills, these hills so many times before
and these walls are walls if ever were
though valiant, valiant my efforts be

reaching them, it seems an impossibility
and the wings will flap, and the neck will crack
when the falcon cries at midnight

and my feet are sore, i don't want to walk around anymore
still the falcon cries at midnight


i live for death, you died for life
a union must take place tonight
hands and hearts will gather in the holy light

when i'm not singing you to sin, i'll take the counter melody
and i'll scream it with fevered disparity
and the wings will flap, and the neck will crack

when the falcon cries at midnight
and my feet are sore, i don't want to walk around anymore
still the falcon cries at midnight


one by one, we may fall
every death is worth this wall

with strength and courage we have been annointed
and the king, the king he must not be disappointed
with strength and courage we have been annointed

and the king, the king he must not be disappointed
