[Verse 1]

Hung in a blinding light

Held in a bitter gaze, feeling the crowd melt away

Up in the desert air

Miles above the world, and the daggers that it holds

[Chorus]

We'll stand and not depart

Vultures are circling our hearts

They'll leave just skin and bones

Vultures shall tear us apart

[Verse 2]

Jealousy, it creeps

Poisoning our words, leaving a bitter taste on our

Lips, tongues and teeth

Like a film of dust, it takes the sweetness from our hearts

[Bridge]

And if you're cut but there's no blood, no blood

But it hurts, then it's true love, true

[Verse 3]

We're hiding in open sight

Held under lock and key, feelin' the hours tick away

Up in the atmosphere

A feeling blood'll boil, letting our bodies drift away

[Chorus]

We'll stand and not depart

Vultures are circling our hearts

They'll leave just skin and bones

Vultures shall tear us apart

[Bridge]

And if you're cut but there's no blood, no blood

But it hurts, then it's true love, true

[Chorus]

We'll stand and not depart

Vultures are circling our hearts

They'll leave just skin and bones

Vultures shall tear us apart
