A Ballad For The Vultures

Star falling in the east. Summoning rays
Come join in the feast
But my hands have turned to claws
Oh, and I cannot.

Barren wastes. Once a promised land
Wisdom drowns below the melting sands
Base forms five for carrion
Starving mouths where all life is gone.

Left with senses the betray
For I still feel archaeus now decayed
Chained by ethers a plagued by their laws
I can't break.

Barren wastes. Once a promised land
Wisdom drowns below the melting sands
Base forms five for carrion
Starving mouths where all life is gone.

Dive again! And live until the end!
Air, how it fights me.

Slicing hard against the grain
They run for cover
Get caught in the path now your prey.

Sustenance hides in the weeds and the dust and the rocks
Blood fills my mouth that I spit at the face of the clock
Chime on!

It inspires. Sows desire
But we're breathing the romance of lies
An obsession. A religion
Lost alone frozen in time
Fly away. Don't get caught in the path and become the prey.
