The Vulture

Letra de The Vulture

This is called The Vulture And a lot of people think it's a poem And after they hear me sing it they're sure it's a poem But, uh We're gonna take a shot at it anywayRemember this is a feel like thing Do whatever you feel like If you feel like clapping your hands You can do thatStanding in the ruins Oh, of another black man's life Or flying through the valley There, separating day and night"I am death", cried the vulture "Yes, for the people of the light"Charon brought his raft Then came from a sea that sails on souls I saw the scavenger departing Oh, taking warm hearts to the coldHe knew the ghetto was a haven For the meanest creature ever knownIn a wilderness of heartbreak Yes and a desert of despair Evil's clarion of justice Oh, shrieks a cry of naked terrorHe's taking babies from their mamas And leaving grief beyond compareYou see the vulture coming And he's flying circles in your mind There'll be no escaping For he will follow close behindOnly promised me a battle Yeah, a battle for your soul and mine Your soul and mineHe's taking babies from their mamas And he's leaving Leaving Leaving Leaving LeavingThank you, that's called The Vulture
