Died at dawn, dagger through her heart,
coffin just empty wood, con from the start,
Bladebite’s smoke-choked alleys, dancing between the blades,
Slipped the contract with a wink and grin while the red ten fades.
She’s the ghost in every bounty, the smile in every lie,
Your coin purse feels much lighter, you’ll never know just why
**HEY! Sparrow Flies!** Over rooftops, through the night,
**Sparrow Flies!** Out of reach and out of sight,
can’t chain her, catch her, know her name
you’ll never clip her Copper wings!
Rode a flying goat through the moonlit docks,
Outdrank a kraken ‘til it passed out on the rocks,
Played bones with Iblihal, won her skull-cup in the deal,
Drank it dry for kisses and a midnight meal.
Every bounty, every wanted sign, just feeds her grin,
‘Cause the more they try to catch her, the more they never win
**HEY! Sparrow Flies!** Over rooftops, through the night,
**Sparrow Flies!** Out of reach and out of sight,
can’t chain her, catch her, know her name
you’ll never clip her Copper wings!
"where's the sparrow?"
“Right behind ya!”
“Where’s your gold?”
“She’s already signed ya!”
“Where’s your pride?”
“She made off with it!”
“WOOOOO! And she left this song to prove it!”
"Where's the Sparrow?"
“Right behind ya!”
“Where’s your gold?”
“She’s already signed ya!”
“Where’s your pride?”
“She made off with it!”
“WOOOOO! And she left this song to prove it!”
In Bladebite, they whisper of the night she wore a crown,
Walked into the palace, burned the whole thing down,
She danced out in the chaos with a pocket full of keys,
Left the prince in smallclothes, sobbing on his knees.
You can corner her in daylight, think you’ve got her penned,
She’ll wink, smile, and vanish ‘round the bend
**HEY! Sparrow Flies!**
**HEY! Sparrow Flies!** Over rooftops, through the night,
**Sparrow Flies!** Out of reach and out of sight,
can’t chain her, catch her, know her name
you’ll never clip her Copper wings!
They say the Copper Sparrow’s just a tale for drunken fools…
…but I’m the one who writes the rules.
