A Doctrine of Vultures Lyrics


through their spirit humans are not unconditionally delivered to their fate

but unfortunately, instead of taking control of our own destiny

we’re used to point our finger at others

blind to the truth, we just keep looking for excuses

thinking time will swallow it all

only when our wounds become scars

we are able to judge right from wrong

we think it is hate creating demons

but we’re wrong, it is fear

we’re all scared to death

with raised fist we always used to reign

dead or alive – these words keep burning deep inside us all

and when the saint becomes the sinner

above the clouds the air is thinner

then the weak and the poor will pay with their lives, with their lives

we sow the wind and we will reap the storm

no one to hear the cry

no one to hear the cry

suffer and die – people use to pounce ruthless on the poor

dead or alive – the greed that suffocates respect

the ugly side of us keeps burning bright

dark days, dark years, dark times still cover the light

we sow the wind and we will reap the storm

no one to hear the cry

no one to hear the cry

no one to hear the cry

when all the hope is fading

and there’s no ground beneath your feet, look overhead

then vultures know you’re as good as dead

when there’s no strength to go on

and skies begin to darken

no one hears your cries

until you close your eyes

greed-driven, sucking the last drop of your blood

no mercy, no regret, the common basis of our cultures

is a doctrine of vultures

born of fire

who’s to blame

now close your eyes

this is your sudden demise

eye for an eye

tooth for a tooth

and the slave becomes the master

suffer and die

suffer and die through the ages of time

till day of reckoning

the moment – when the weak stop to crawl

the point – where words end

the place – where no one is secure

the awakening of the living dead

when all the hope is fading

and there’s no ground beneath your feet, look overhead

then vultures know you’re as good as dead

when there’s no strength to go on

and skies begin to darken

no one hears your cries

until you close your eyes

greed-driven, sucking the last drop of your blood

no mercy, no regret, the common basis of our cultures

is a doctrine of vultures
