Where Vultures Gather -

Sifting through the ashes

Of a time come and gone

Our days fall through the hour

Glass as the march time gos on

Age to age we rise and fall

As the prophecies foretold

Look into the futures eyes

Till there’s nothing, nothing there at all

On what have fixed your attention

As you look down from on high

The reckoning has come

Let all who can hear

All who can see

Look and listen for the sign

Living underneath the cruel fist of pain

Since the day man lost his way

Lust and greeds been our elixir

A faithless age of decadence

Seeing not our own seduction

Centuries for lies have dulled our eyes

To malevolent destruction

Where vultures gather

The bodies they lie

Where vultures gather

The spirit has gone away

Where vultures gather

The carcass you’ll find

Let the wolves and the carrion feed

And the sun bleach the bones

With cold calculation

Surveying the kill

The predator watches

Containing the thrill

Sighting his prey stumbling and weak

Aimlessly wandering he falls to his knees

Where vultures gather

The bodies they lie

Where vultures gather

The spirit has gone away

Where vultures gather

The carcass you’ll find

Let the wolves and the carrion feed

And the sun bleach the bones
