Past the barren land of hope Covered in white, smouldering ashes Human remains across roads, seas and skies Desolate landscapes of forgotten cities Burn on the altar once extolled Treacherous agents hiding in plain sight Awaiting their time to thrust the stake Crawling on their knees Hiding from watchful eyes No hope, no cure, no future For the damned Like parasites, feasting on their own Gnawed to the bone Vultures circle the impending dead Feeding on their desperation Like starving leeches, drinking their blood Sucked dry, bled and hung Corpses circle your fading life Feasting on your decaying flesh Remnants of forgotten undead Desolate landscapes of forgotten cities Burn on the altar once extolled Treacherous agents hiding in plain sight Awaiting their time to thrust the stake No hope, no cure, no future on the vulture watch
