Vultures

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
