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
