The Renaissance - THE VULTURES FLY HIGH lyrics

While in the streets of all our fears

They reign supreme as orders go

They are the last to have their say

And last to know it doesn't matter how you try

It doesn't matter what you say

They always watch with hollow eyes

To put you down they always find a way to criticise

Chorus I:

The vultures fly high

They circle over us all

The vultures fly high

I'll take your hand if you fall

All those who sheltered in their smile

Are scattered here from yesterday

And if the weak are left behind

They have to pay and though you haven't much to give

You know they take it, yours and mine

Sometimes it looks as though we lose

But then in time the finger points at them

The next in line

Repeat Chorus I

[Instrumental break]

Chorus II:

The vultures fly high

They circle over us all

The lonely sigh

I'll take your hand if you fall

Repeat Chorus II twice
