Circling Vultures

We are runaways, we're on the escape
we don't give a damn about the things that you say.
we've all risked a lot, we've risked our lives and our loves
Sing your children lullabies because there's gonna be a flood.
Recently I have foreseen a vision of a world
Where freedom is a dirty word and constitutions burn
if this is all a test, I hope God's up there having fun
Sing your children lullabies because there's gonna be a flood.
(Rain Rain Down. Rain Rain Down.)
So take to the highest roof top, save only what you can
if the doors break in, then all our sins will be washed away again.
(Rain Rain Down. Rain Rain Down.)

After all, they think we're better for this.
Maybe tomorrow we can burn the forests down?
Things have always been this way and I believe
That we will bring us to our knees.

Of all the dreams you ever had when you were just a kid
In anywhere but nightmares did things ever end like this?
If I could have one wish, I'd tear the stars out of the sky
To re-ignite our hearts and see the fire in our eyes
There's a storm on the horizon, I can feel it in my bones
Sing your children lullabies so they won't feel so alone
(Rain Rain Down. Rain Rain Down.)

After all, they think we're better for this.
Maybe tomorrow we can burn the forests down?
If we carry on this way then I believe
That we will bring us to our knees.
We are nothing but a cancer on this earth
Abandoned here all alone to define our worth
If it exists at all, I don't know why I'm here
The only thing that matters now are those that I hold dear.

We fell in love with a dying culture like circling vultures
We fell in love with the lies.
If you believe that a life worth living is more than make believe
The war is far from lost.
We have to seek the truth at any cost.
