This is the dawning
Of the age that is stillborn
Red misty morning
Of the era ripped and torn

No silver bullet
Can shoot it down
No holy water
No saviour's crown

The vulture
Vulture of fire

This is the carcass
Full of hopes and dreams unmet
Descends the darkness
Now the raptor tears its flesh

No silver bullet
Can shoot it down
No holy water
No Saviour's crown

The vulture
Vulture of fire

This is hubristic
And the legends always fall
Deep and horrific
Now the piper comes to call

No silver bullet
Can shoot it down
No holy water
No Saviour's crown

The vulture
The vulture
Vulture of fire
Vulture of fire
