lyrics

That lonely magpie
Looms high above our heads
It's come to steal our light
And sing for our dead

They say a drop of the devil's blood
Is trapped under its tongue
And if you set it free
They will sing like you and me

That bird refused to go
Below with all the rest
It stayed upon the deck
To curse god and his rain

The magpie never wept
As it perched upon the cross
It offered no comfort
To the dead of Skull Mountain

That lonely magpie
Looms high above our heads
It's come to steal our light
And sing for our dead
