[Verse 1]
Hung in a blinding light
Held in a bitter gaze, feeling the crowd melt away
Up in the desert air
Miles above the world, and the daggers that it holds

[Chorus]
We'll stand and not depart
Vultures are circling our hearts
They'll leave just skin and bones
Vultures shall tear us apart

[Verse 2]
Jealousy, it creeps
Poisoning our words, leaving a bitter taste on our
Lips, tongues and teeth
Like a film of dust, it takes the sweetness from our hearts

[Bridge]
And if you're cut but there's no blood, no blood
But it hurts, then it's true love, true

[Verse 3]
We're hiding in open sight
Held under lock and key, feelin' the hours tick away
Up in the atmosphere
A feeling blood'll boil, letting our bodies drift away
[Chorus]
We'll stand and not depart
Vultures are circling our hearts
They'll leave just skin and bones
Vultures shall tear us apart

[Bridge]
And if you're cut but there's no blood, no blood
But it hurts, then it's true love, true

[Chorus]
We'll stand and not depart
Vultures are circling our hearts
They'll leave just skin and bones
Vultures shall tear us apart
