Stuttering Wind Songtext
von Johnny Dowd

It was a sunny day on January 10
Saw the leaves of grass covering up my friend
Came the shiny bird, took his soul away
Listen to the crow, hear what he had to say
Which crow invented death to spite the common folk?
Read it in his eyes, our tears are a joke
Taste the bitter fruit left lonesome by the bird
Hear the tribal lips moan their futile words

All fear the stuttering wind
All fear the stuttering wind


See the velvet fog, a creature of desire
She obscures the young, she′s starvation's child
Beauty of the minute fades into the hour
Hope springs eternal, she′s an artificial flower
The harbinger of love is a shiny black crow
A black and shiny crow standing stark against the snow
Miserable old man knows the meaning of remorse
He wears it like a saddle on his bug-eyed horse

All fear the stuttering wind
All fear the stuttering wind

Was on a narrow bed, the orphan and his wife
Praise the crawling snake, the eternal source of life
Misery and pain, what more do we deserve?
Pay your debt to the government, it's God you must serve
