Hung in a blinding light

Held in a bitter gaze, feeling the crowd melt away

Up in the desert air

Miles above the world, and the daggers that it holds.

We'll stand and not depart

Vultures are circling our hearts

They'll leave just skin and bones

Vultures shall tear us apart.

Jealousy, it creeps

Poisoning our words, leaving a bitter taste on our

Lips, tongues and teeth

Like a film of dust, it takes the sweetness from our hearts.

And if you're cut but there's no blood, no blood

But it hurts, then it's true love, true.

We're hiding in open sight

Held under lock and key, feelin' the hours tick away

Up in the atmosphere

A feeling blood'll boil, letting our bodies drift away.

We'll stand and not depart

Vultures are circling our hearts

They'll leave just skin and bones

Vultures shall tear us apart.

And if you're cut but there's no blood, no blood

But it hurts, then it's true love, true.

We'll stand and not depart

Vultures are circling our hearts

They'll leave just skin and bones

Vultures shall tear us apart.
