City in Ruins

The vultures come like one-winged angels
Fallen from their perch
They're on the prowl like shadows loom
Violently they search
With naught to give they proclaim out
The purest intention
With talons glean the life below
And claim it carrion

Take their orders from the past
A relic out of time
Driven by the force of Zeal
Claim their cause divine
Walk the streets with guns in hand
To build up their empire
Intimidate and take revenge
On those they say conspire

Sap the world to build up force
No matter who gets hurt
Place their needs before all else
High above this earth
The city must be built up high
A kingdom in the sky
But when it all comes crashing down
Our screams are the same cry

Take their orders from the past
A relic out of time
Driven by the force of Zeal
Claim their cause divine
Walk the streets with guns in hand
To build up their empire
Intimidate and take revenge
On those they say conspire

They build their crowns
From the bones they claim they've found
They build their thrones
From the wreckage of our homes

They build their crowns
From the bones they claim they've found
They build their thrones
From the wreckage of our homes

They build their crowns
From the bones they claim they've found
They build their thrones
From the wreckage of our homes

They build their crowns
From the bones they claim they've found
They build their thrones
From the wreckage of our homes
