Birds of Prey

Alarm bells ringing clear Break the calm before the fall Bad news travels at the speed of flight Good news not at all And here we are again Playing endless games of war Birds of prey Without a word of warning We dive in to attack Vengeful and self-righteous We turn the blue sky black And a wretched few escape They'll be forever looking back At our sacrifice And the golden sun is rising At the dawn of a beautiful day In the name of all that's holy In the name of history In the face of life and nature We are driven by belief Our faith a crumbling fortress Once perfect and sublime Will fail again and rise again Until the death Until the death of time
