Bird Of Prey

(albüm: Epitaph - 2020)

There's no more rails to lay
No more games to play
You've found your all-time low
No more gold will galvanize your dream
Or heighten your esteem
You're back to where you started off long ago
Just waiting here for the unknown to show

When the bird of prey took hold of your heart
And it ate the centrepiece part by part
Every vein froze in icy silence
And when the bird of prey was done picking holes
In the body that still hosted your soul
There's only you and your false pretence

Your days of youth have gone
You lived the dream for so long
And never cared for lives beyond your own
No tears were ever shed
When the world around you bled
You just watered the devastating seeds you'd sown

When the bird of prey took hold of your heart
And it ate the centrepiece part by part
Every vein froze in icy silence
And when the bird of prey was done picking holes
In the body that still hosted your soul
There's only you and your false pretence

Suddenly perspectives had changed
Your mind evolved from set to deranged
The bitter taste of your own medicine
What a sin

When the bird of prey took hold of your heart
And it ate the centrepiece part by part
Every vein froze in icy silence
And when the bird of prey was done picking holes
In the body that still hosted your soul
There's only you and your false pretence
