Vultures

The gallows are in demand

And there will be no omission

There is nowhere to hide

From the storm that’s coming

We’ve been on your back

For what feels like forever now

And like vultures circling

We long to feed

Was there ever a reason?

Are you so eager to burn?

You’ve got to watch what you say

Nothing left to give

But our hunger’s never sated

Always a live wire

We’ll keep that in mind

You’ll be left for the flames

When we’ve taken what we needed

So, try to piss on your bonfire

We will never relent

Mercy is not on the table

In time, you will become a cautionary tale

If this is the gamification of our reality

Then who am I to refuse a perfect hand?

It was always a gamble

Now all the walls are closing in

And there is no escape

Nothing left to give

But our hunger’s never sated

Always a live wire

We’ll keep that in mind

You’ll be left for the flames

When we’ve taken what we needed

So, try to piss on your bonfire

There will be no quarter, we will take it all

You’ll reap all that you’ve seeded

We’ll tie you to a stake
