The willow it weeps today

A breeze from a distance

Is calling your name

Unfurl your black wings and wait

Across the horizons coming

to sweep you away

Its coming to sweep you away

Let the wind carry you home

Blackbird fly away

May you never be broken again

The fragile can not endure

The wrecked and the and

jaded a place so impure

The static of this cruel world

Cause some birds to fly long

before they've seen their day

long before they've seen their day

Let the wind carry you home

Blackbird fly away

May you never be broken again

Beyond the suffering youve known

I hope you find your way

May you never be broken again

Ascend may you find no resistance

Know that you've made

such a difference

All you leave behind will

live to the end

The cycle of suffering goes

on But the memories

of you stay strong

Someday I too will fly

and find you again

Tremonti did a Very fast Sweeping and shredding here!!!
