"A Murder of Crows" is a song in Ghost of a Tale. It is a satirical song, asserting that the group name for each kind of creature accurately reflects their true nature.
Lyrics[]
I’ve found the true nature of creatures is shown
In the names by which each is collectively known
I’ve heard Tidings of Magpies and seen Murders of Crows
Smelled a Surfeit of Skunks with a peg on my nose,
Met a Mischief of Mice, who were masters of prose
And a Sneaking of Weasels, who were light on their toes
But the Rats are the worst, as well everyone knows
‘Cause a gathering of Rats is a Plague, as it goes!
And now that’s off my chest I have this to propose
That they’re creatures of whom I suggest we dispose!
