lyrics

Your friends they are vultures
Circling above you
Cackling through their razor sharp beaks
Haughtily hovering
Over searching for
Scavenging the limp flaccid feast
Feathers in disarray
They say and they say
That they're loyal never would betray
Then like a lonely lost lamb
They lead you to the pack wolves in the black woods
Your feelings are phantasms
Pulsating within you
They spin you dizzy 'til death
Consciousness lets you not one ounce of solace
You're manic panicked
Or else you're depressed
Morally bound to a faceless belief
Appeal while you kneel
He is your pimp
Pay him the penance upfront cash in hand
You'll enter his kingdom and walk unto him
Your family has fallen destitute
They scrounge around
Scraping for scraps
Lactating dribbling liquid
The children lick from the tit of their dead mother's cat
There on your grandfather's desk a recording of him speaking
Before they stole his voice
Smoke after smoke of a dying man
Yes I can I made the choice
Like bars of a prison that
Randomly risen surround you you find yourself stuck
Your captors they keep you and say it's a small fee to be free
And you don't have a buck

The slaughter will come oh my love so don't worry no don't fret
The slaughter will come to clear all the clutter and everyone will be dead

Your friends they are vultures circling above you
Cackling through their razor sharp beaks
