A rusty rainbow crawls throughout this leaden sky,
At its end no gold to be found but a lie
A four letter word, the meanest to say,
A burnt offering when life drowns in grey
Vultures circle above, below a black snake moan,
In its mouth no truth to be found but a drone
A four letter word, the cheapest to say,
A burnt offering when push comes to pray
A four letter word that led me astray,
A burnt hope when life fades away
It's written in waters, it's all carved in sand,
With vultures above us it's us versus life until the very end
A dead story crawls throug feathers and tar,
At its end no smile to be found but a scar
A four letter word, the meanest to say,
A burnt offering when life drowns in grey
Vultures circle above, below a hungry grave,
In its mouth lies nothing but the home of the brave
A four letter word, the cheapest to say,
A burnt offering when push comes to pray
A four letter word that led me astray,
A burnt hope when life fades away
It's written in waters, it's all carved in sand,
With vultures above us it's us versus life until the very end
Life is just a four letter lie, no truth,
No love, no second try
Life is just a four letter cry,
A blessed trip when blood has run dry
