Track 01 off of 99 Songs of Revolution, Volume I. Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Birds Flying Away by Mason Jennings.
Lyrics:
I left my country when i was nineteen
1925
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my life
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fled from me
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
On the day she married me
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god
But now the drumbirds come for me
Oh now the drumbirds come for me
Lord give me forgiveness
For all that i've done
Forgive me now of the weight i bear
Don't keep me on the run
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god

Eh. Idk, I never really liked this one. It's not bad, but it's definitely worst song on the album, when compared to the other absolute gems on this album.

@FloridaSkaters Actually, I believe he would have written it, and replaced all the religious crap with kick-ass music.

If the bible was written today, Kalnoky would be in it

Tomas Kalnoky has never written a bad song. I know this is a cover, but "dear god";] ahah amazing.
