Hatebreed - Wings of the Vulture lyrics

They only take to the
Skies once death arrives

Through a darkened sky, so clear to see
Unveiling the closeness of morbidity
As light hit's 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
