Here Come the Vultures

I once had an understanding that everything would go my way
 But now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs
 I'm not in it for the fun of it but for the pain
 I'm not at all interested in your temporary fame
 I just want to see you stare
 As I lay my soul bare for you
 To crush upon with heavy feet
 I'm in it for the beat
 ♪
 Stranger the faces
 Stranger the places
 They're becoming us
 Here come the vultures
 Here come the vultures
 Heading over us
 It's just a black murder of crows
 Across the sky
 The moon announces that it will soon be night
 The light dies down
 The spot goes on
 As loveless lips
 Break into song
 I once had an understanding that everything would go my way
 But now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs
 I'm not in it for the fun of it but for the pain
 I'm not at all interested in your temporary fame
 And the same old song we sing
 ♪
 Here's to the ghost
 We still seem to host
 How he's becoming us
 
 Here come the vultures
 Here come the vultures
 Screaming down at us
 They said you can not sing the blues
 When you're pretty and young
 Let me show you a face that fits to neither one
 This heart is black
 Like blood that has dried
 This song is blue
 Like bruises bright
 I once had an understanding that everything would go my way
 But now we've come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs
 I'm not in it for the fun of it but for the pain
 I'm not at all interested in your temporary fame
 And the same old song we sing
 ♪
 Murder of crows across the sky
 The moon announces that it will soon be night
 Fog closes in
 And all I see all empty eyes
 Through silent screams
 I once had an understanding that everything would go my way
 But now we've come to far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs
 I'm in it for the beat
