Vultures

This disease became my life
Became my cell, so I embrace my hell

I have never been scared to die
But I'm afraid to live as a monster
I have never been scared to die
Death come and take me now
I have never been scared to fly
But there's a long way up to heaven
I have never been scared to fly
But I would rather take the highway to hell

You showed me the flame
In the night when the vultures came
They felt the sadness in the air
You showed me the flame
In the night when the vultures came
They felt the sadness in the air

I have never been scared to die
But I'm afraid to live as a monster
I have never been scared to die
Death come and take me now
I have never been scared to fly
But there's a long way up to heaven
I have never been scared to fly
So let me die!

My days are numbered but I have lost the count
I am stuck in a fight with myself now
A battle no-one prevails

What if I wouldn't try?
What if I just gave up now?
And let the cancer eat me?
What if I just say goodbye
And never asked a question why?
Would it all just go away?

As the shadows fall on me
I'm a hostage stuck inside this dream
I can hear the vultures circling 'round my head as I am left alone
I can hear the desperation from the beats inside my chest
As my heart is pumping out the very last will I have to live

You showed me the flame
In the night when the vultures came (When the vultures came)
They felt the sadness in the air
You showed me the flame (You showed me the flame)
In the night when the vultures came
They felt the sadness in the air (In the air!)
