lyrics

Have no say in what's at stake
Hatching from a tempest egg
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

Call the storm on thunder's wings
Falling stone and broken things
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

Watch your step as owls pass
Rusty nails and broken glass
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

Step right out from in between
Blasted doors and broken dreams
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

Tap the keg of witches' brew
Be the child who speaks the truth

Black swan tear the temple down
Black swan tear the temple down
Black swan tear the temple down
Black swan tear the temple down

Walking tall into the fray
Light the match and step away

Catch to kill another day
Baby do I look like prey to you?

Cuz I have some say in what's at stake
Tempest tossed but not about to break

Singing up the wind and rain
Gonna shake you down with my refrain
Stepping out from in between
I got tricks you've never seen

Drinking down the witches brew
Gonna be the one who speaks the truth
Black swan tear the temple down
Black swan tear the temple down
Black swan tear the temple down
Black swan tear the temple dooooown

Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down
Black swan tore the temple down

S. J. Tucker Perry, Arkansas

“Without our songs and stories, we are nothing.” S. J. Tucker has been captain of her own music career since 2004, when she left the workaday world behind to sing songs and change lives. Tucker is the voice of lore at the campfire and the sharp laughter of modern myth. With one hand anchored in her art and the other held out to us, she is songs and stories, community and wit. ... more
