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
