Birds of Prey

Lyrics

[Chorus] Eyes in the sky have you under control The inner light collapses in the blackest of the black holes A sacrifice of body and soul To the great leviathan that swallows us whole [Verse 1] The mouth is sewn shut, it cannot protest The hands are shackled, it cannot resist The brain is poisoned, it cannot question Numb enough to function through mental repression [Refrain] Fear is the perfect prison Manipulate the model citizen Abuse of power The final hour A crushing pressure to fall in line As the machine grinds to a halt for the last time [Verse 2] Birds of prey Fly too close to the sun And as the wings of the phoenix burn The world will come undone [Chorus] Eyes in the sky have you under control The inner light collapses in the blackest of the black holes A sacrifice of body and soul To the great leviathan that swallows us whole [Post-Chorus] Paralyzed We cower in the face of our demise The parasite that consumes the will to live from the inside [Verse 3] Oh, wretched life void of serenity A paradise turned to atrocity Slowly conditioned to feel no sympathy Failing future, moral slavery [Refrain] Fear is the perfect prison Manipulate the model citizen Abuse of power The final hour A crushing pressure to fall in line As the machine grinds to a halt for the last time [Bridge] To the abyss We surrender the fire to exist Leviathan Swallower of sin We end where we begin In nothingness [Outro] We end where we begin In nothingness We end where we begin In nothingness We end where we begin In nothingness
