Cormorant - Scavengers Feast lyrics

A million shells like stones in sand The soil painted by severed hands Locusts breed in a child's skull A hallowed tank, rats in its hull Wars keep the vultures fed Friends and foes, all extinguished Mother Nature can't distinguish Between a k**er and a priest Heroes are the victors butchers All their rapes and all their tortures Cleansed by rains of gold and years of rot The human god mirrors the human brain Pray for power and material gain So the rich die old, and the poor die shot An armed cadaver on a fleshless horse Father time knows no remorse For rifts of west and east So the scavengers feast A martyred saint's but a jackal's meal And for all man's pride and religious zeal Both the church and the who*ehouse burned The flies, the ants, the carrion thrive Hornets die a ribcage hive And the world, the world still turns When all mankind tastes the earth Mother Nauture will give birth To another king of beasts And still the scavengers feast
