They only take to the skies once death arrives Through a darkened sky, so clear to see Unveiling the closeness of morbidity As light hits the eye, no sympathy The talons sharper than they've ever been Lower, lower, lower sweeps the wings of the vulture Lurking peril trembles in the mind Lower, lower, lower sweeps the wings of the vulture Awaiting the bones they will pick dry After demise They only take to the skies once death arrives A distant recollection has been stirred Compelled against this life at every turn Now high above the growing swarm is seen The scattered fragments whispering to be free Lower, lower, lower sweeps the wings of the vulture Lurking peril trembles in the mind Lower, lower, lower sweeps the wings of the vulture Fear ridden hunger haunted flight After demise Descending from the sky Once death arrives When the end is close by Cleansing death inside Where there once was life They only begin descent When decay is evident Always there when death arrives Crowning evolution by design
