Here Come The Vultures
I once had an understanding that everything would go my wayBut now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefsI'm not in it for the fun of it but for the painI'm not at all interested in your temporary fameI just want to see you stareAs I lay my soul bare for you to crush upon with heavy feetI'm in it for the beat
Stranger the facesStranger the placesThey're becoming usHere come the vulturesHere come the vulturesHeading over us
It's just a black murder of crowsAcross the skyThe moon announces that it will soon be nightThe light dies downThe spot goes onAs loveless lipsBreak into song
I once had an understanding that everything would go my wayBut now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefsI'm not in it for the fun of it but for the painI'm not at all interested in your temporary fameAnd the same old song we sing
Here's to the ghostWe still seem to hostHow he's becoming usHere come the vulturesHere come the vulturesScreaming down at us
They said you can not sing the bluesWhen you're pretty and youngLet me show you a face that fits to neither oneThis heart is blackLike blood that has driedThis song is blueLike bruises bright
I once had an understanding that everything would go my wayBut now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefsI'm not in it for the fun of it but for the painI'm not at all interested in your temporary fameAnd the same old song we sing
Murder of crows across the skyThe moon announces that it will soon be nightFog closes inAnd all I seeAll empty eyesThrough silent screams
I once had an understanding that everything would go my wayBut now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefsI'm in it for the beat
