Words Of Prey

lyrics

Time seemed to stand still as the glass left your hand
But the silence exploded when the floor interfered
Then the mirror talked back again, said "this time it's bad"
Better throw it all in, there's no fame to be had"

I said Yeah you've got wings kid, but don't fly too high
For there are creatures above us that'll eat you alive
Stay low to the ground
Try and keep your head down
So you won't have as far to fall when they strike

I got blood on my hands, from just standin' by
To watch as terrestrial bodies collided
A voice in my head whispered: they'll be alright
Just take a back seat, man, now's not the time

I said Yeah you've got wings kid, but don't fly too high
For there are creatures above us that'll eat you alive
Stay low to the ground
Try and keep your head down
So you won't have as far to fall when they strike

We're just bones and meat built to breathe and expire
Sleeping under a heaven thats as empty as I
We lie wrapped in sheets as our bodies collide
Side by side
Half of the world rips itself into pieces
The other waits by to sift through the debris
Buildings so high
They block out the sky
And billboards to remind us that the end is nigh.

I said Yeah you've got wings kid, but don't fly too high
For there are creatures above us that'll eat you alive
Stay low to the ground
Try and keep your head down
So you won't have as far to fall when they strike
