They traveled round like gypsies wreaking havoc in the night Their lives were full of doom and tombs and putting up a fight They raided rich who'd done them wrong if odds were looking good Their company was pirates, thieves, revenge-seeking blighters And their origin story is: their leader said To the whole crew one day I won't count to ten, there's more to me than you can see in your what-ifs I won't make you spend hours seeking power that you'll never win I won't make you vow to swear you never knew me if they threaten to take you down But I won't compromise on this one rule, better terrible truths than lost lives High wire, walking, big talking, bluff to just survive There's no lock that's unpickable, no unwinnable prize If someone thinks they've robbed you blind, you teach them how to fold And scrub their lives until there's nothing left for them to hold And their origin story is: their leader said To the whole crew one day I won't count to ten, there's more to me than you can see in your what-ifs I won't make you spend hours seeking power that you'll never win I won't make you vow to swear you never knew me if they threaten to take you down But I won't compromise on this one rule, better terrible truths than lost lives Gnarled claws, hooked beak, unmalicious cryptic speak Slickened wings, sharp gaze, searching fissures as a slave Chained to freedom, want of it, a corpse's thirst cannot compete For even now, when on the brink of kindness, hearts are still depraved Unkindness leaves holes, but truly vicious acts are left undone With this trait, but without wit, all crucial wars are left unwon Murder bests unkindness in its harsh and wily ways Crows face all death where it stands, watch weaker run away I won't count to ten, there's more to me than you can see in your what-ifs I won't make you spend hours seeking power that you'll never win I won't make you vow to swear you never knew me if they threaten to take you down But I won't compromise on this one rule, better terrible truths than lost lives
