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 my heart
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 my heart
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 my heart
They'll leave just skin and bones
Vultures shall tear us apart
