Old World Vulture versuri

Old World Vulture lyrics by Rayne Blakeman

I’ve been picking at scraps like an old world vulture in the Miocene
You’ve moved on, but I still read your stories
A big cat killed an antelope, now I’m picking at what’s left on the bone
Eyes on the back of my head

I am prey for someone else
Or at least that’s what I told myself for some time
Even with my strong wings
That could take me away
Take me anywhere
They brought me to your doorstep
So how could I be so cold?
Not to give you all of me
Withholding love is getting fast
When it is all I have to give
So I will give it all to you

Pouring my heart out, it flows like a river
So much life swimming through it all
Vulture of the old world, it’s time to say goodbye
Extinction can be necessary, ‘cause everybody dies
And some things just aren’t needed anymore
You have protected me for millions of years, and I thank you
Without you, I’m not sure I would’ve made it
And now I’m ready to fly – Far away

Far away, far away
Far away from the Miocene
Far away, far away
Far away from the Miocene
Far away, far away
Far away from the Miocene
Far away, far, far away
Far away from the Miocene
