Deadfall

(album: Seventh Swamphony - 2013)

Darkness creeps around us in the twilight time
The string of decoy-ducks is swinging on the waves
Behind the ness
The flock is dabbling
The tension intensifies
Before their takeoff
We hear the wings rustling just before they come
And with the calling sound we bluff them down to land

Deadfall merciless firestorm
Deadfall merciless firestorm
Take 'em all down

Before it ends
We're running out of shells
And they have gone
We just shot none
Time to stop this lethal game
We have had our chance to take
But we still have days to come
Shallow waters call, my friend

And when the time is right we just can't resist
The call of the gentle wind coming from the west
With those rustling wings they're coming once again
And we're hiding in the bushes waiting for them

Deadfall merciless firestorm
Deadfall merciless firestorm
Take 'em all down
