Vulture – Day 10
Story
A song for the abused.
Listen
Lyrics
Dazzle with your crown
Gaslamp lit by your renown
So crude, our musings bound
Lust and bones in soiled gowns
We worship your name
Take feed from our veins
A hive for your reign
Score our souls again
Nail your child to your gospel
Watch it burn
Tell them all who they are
You paint the earth in black and white
And eat their praise
Hallelujah
Holy be thy words.
Dangling swords above the herd,
We worship your name
Take feed from our veins
A hive for your reign
Extort our loyalty
Nail your child to your gospel
Watch it burn
Tell them all who they are
You paint the earth in black and white
And eat their praise
Hallelujah
Mercy by your righteous hand
Bestow your grace
Tell them all how to think.
So stupid, burdened by their senses
Unlike you
Hallelujah
Justice in the throes
After all, only God knows
Bathe my whole entire world
In pious flames
Show me you’re in control
The vengeance flooding from your thin skin
Heeds my prayers
Hallelujah
If I abandon dignity and bend my knees
Could I still die in peace?
I’m just so fucking tired.
You’ve taken everything,
And still you think that you deserve our love.
So ego goes.
Fuck your hallelujah
You’ll prove in time you’re just a vulture in savior’s robes.
