Wings Wetted Down

Blue Öyster Cult · Tyranny And Mutation [1973]

Flights of black horsemen

Soar o'er the churches

Persued by an army of birds in the rain



None of them can see the clouds

The polished wings don't care

Animal ways through the hazy dreams full of pain



Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground

It all turns around

In the end, the end, the end



The voices sound deadly

Sometimes I hear

Echoes of empires spread throughout the sky



Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground

It all turns around

In the end, the end, the end



Flights of black horsemen

Soar o'er the churches

Persued by an army of birds in the rain



Wings wetted down

It all turns around

It all turns around

In the end, the end, the end
