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
