The Vulture's Share (Retrogressing)

V5

Shadows stretch, a canvas of the dead The dirt is cheap, for what was left unsaid The faithful watch, they've got their hands prepared To count the toll, of what was never shared The wheel it turns, you never slow the pace A hollow grin, on every single face Gonna take The Vulture's Share Gonna breathe the poisoned air Turn your back and you disappear The Vulture's Share is why we're here! The rumour spreads, like wildfire through the town Every little secret, gets burned on the way down A willing ear, is all the lie requires To fan the flames, and build the funeral pyres ​ The mirror cracks, you see what you have done It’s always over, before it's ever begun Gonna take The Vulture's Share Gonna breathe the poisoned air Turn your back and you disappear The Vulture's Share is why we're here! And you can try to keep your mouth shut (Keep your mouth shut) You can try to hold the line But the truth has got a thousand hooks And every one is sharp and fine The stone you threw, it's comin' home tonight Gonna take The Vulture's Share Gonna breathe the poisoned air Turn your back and you disappear The Vulture's Share is why we're here! The Vulture's Share is why we're here!
