Lyrics
Vultures
Precious few years
Nary a tear for it all
Mourning delayed
Till your estate’s settled up
Lawyers and friends
Pluck their two cents
From your eyes
Pay off their grief
With fortunes you leave
To the dead
And when the will is done
Much to lament
Sharing the loss
In the pettiness of
Vultures swarming ‘round the dead
Eventually
All this will be left to rot
Heirlooms of greed
Replacing our needs with want
There you’ll remain
Calling in vain from beyond
And when the will is done
Much to resent
Bearing the loss
Lest we forget
There never is enough
And when the memory dies
The pitiless dole it out
The pettiness of
Vultures swarming ‘round the dead
Overhead
And when the memory dies
The pitiless dole it out
A family sold
Enemies for their price
The pettiness of
Vultures swarming ‘round the dead
And when the will is done
Much to repent
Wearing the loss
Lest we forget
There never is enough
In the pettiness of
Vultures swarming ‘round the dead
