They come down, when they hear no sound, no signs of life
To rewrite the deal, take over the wheel and secretly burn the bill
Bring the lies, the alibis, it's too late to pray for you now
Somewhere between reason and sin is where I'll be
Once it starts to fade
Once it starts to fall
Once truth is justified (and thirst is satisfied, tell me)
Who's gonna stop the rain
The rain
Who's gonna stop the reign
Who's gonna stop the reign of vultures
Once they come and take it all away
Now open the door
I see it now
I see it now rotten, shameless, painted black
Painted black
Once they start there's no turning back
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
I see it now rotten, shameless, painted black
Painted black
Once they start there's no turning back
Reign of vultures
Will take us away
The rain
The rain
Who's gonna stop the reign
The reign of vultures will take me away
The reign of vultures will take
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
