Scavenger

(God damnit lord, where have you been?)

You heard me praying for love then you came running

(God damnit lord, I'm fading out... again...)

Start tuning in I need attention

(God damnit lord, I got a taste for you blood)

I've been fasting for weeks, half-assed communion

(God damnit lord, god damn)

Somehow it's hard to believe that you put me through this to somehow better me

Don't curse the sky

With words like daggers

The clouds might collapse

Still feeling the weight of the Gods

And no legs to move, no legs to move

In tune with my senses

I was blessed with the smell of defeat

I travel with a lonely soul

Trapped in a broken body

Scavenger, where does the vulture sleep?

(And when you speak) And when you speak to him

Will you bring him to me, bring him to me

Scavenger, bring forth the jackals teeth

I am corpse; I'm nothing but meat

I don't mind the pope

I don't mind the priest

I don't mind the saints

Send someone to listen to me

I'll burn a cross

I'll kill a lamb

Worship false Gods

Blaspheme until you lend a hand

Sun kissed, I'm cracking in pieces

Trust the whore to drink the water

Still a loving mirage to me

She left in search of purer springs

Still waiting on the touch of the one who cured leprosy

Scavenger, where does the vulture sleep?

(And when you speak) And when you speak to him

Will you bring him to me, bring him to me

Scavenger, bring forth the jackals teeth

I am corpse; I'm nothing but meat

Someone answer me

I got the steel in my mouth we need a reason to be

Someone answer me

Was it me all along or did she do this to me?

Someone answer me

Is it the fear of loss or is love truly diseased

Someone answer me

If I get out of this does the cycle repeat?

Scavenger, where does the vulture sleep?

(And when you speak) And when you speak to him

Will you bring him to me, just bring him to me

Scavenger, bring forth the jackals teeth

I am corpse; I'm nothing but meat

I don't mind the church

I don't mind my sleep

I don't mind the gates

Just please warrant me peace

I can't burn a cross

I can't kill a lamb

Can't blaspemize after I'm dead
