Scavengers

[Verse 1] Behind the surgeon's tent Muzzles at the door Wait for the scraps Growl for more Under the shadow Talon and threat The crown of creation Victim of fleeces And ichor up to his neck [Chorus] So say the chorus of Predator drones: "Cower as savages, fight over bones" Campfires cool under violet skies One by one, the scavengers rise [Verse 2] The trenches are filled Stones are laid The ledger runs black The wagon man is paid Outside the surgeon's tent There's a look in their eyes And the crown of creation Is more than happy to oblige [Chorus] So say the chorus of Predator drones: "Cower as savages, fight over bones" Campfires cool under violet skies One by one, the scavengers rise [Bridge] Will you accompany me to Manassas And watch the show? Perch on the picket, stretch out our wings Watch the whole thing unfold? [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] See how they leave their standards And run with pieces of country and gods? When they are dust, it's just between us The shovel, the vulture, the dogs [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus 1] So say the chorus of Predator drones: "Cower as savages, fight over bones" Campfires cool under violet skies One by one, the scavengers rise [Chorus 2] Under the shadow of Predator drones Cower as savages, fight over bones Campfires cool under violet skies One by one, the scavengers rise
