Lyrics for Scavengers
Overhead, are those angels or vultures Heavy wings and the hum of decay They seethe and hover Skew and smother the light of day, oh Every word is a dissonant whisper They've got you wearing a smile like a mask And all you're left with Is every question you're scared to ask, oh I will find you in the black light Of that cold, dry land Nevermind who held you last night Come and take my, come and take my hand Every tether is tangled and twisted Th械y slowly sever your heart from th械 whole Iron shackles, hungry jackals with eyes like coal Oh Underfoot as you steal past the gallows Brittle branches or pieces of bone Feel your chest heave, are you ready To come back home, oh? I will find you in the black light Of that cold, dry land Nevermind who held you last night Come and take my, come and take my hand I will find you in the black light Of that cold, dry land Nevermind who held you last night Come and take my, come and take my hand I will find you in the black light Of that cold, dry land Nevermind who held you last night Come and take my, come and take my hand I will find you in the black light Of that cold, dry land Nevermind who held you last night Come and take my hand Come and take my hand
