They're circling 'round but I need more time
My freedom is priceless and so is my peace of mind
I shouldn't have to pay for mine
If they were bees 'round my baby I would kill them
But they hover in packs and what a sorry excuse for men
There should be no excusing them

'Cause they're dragging my faith out of me
It was not for the taking
Look the vultures are perching
And they're dragging my faith out of me
Everything I believed in
Look out in the waters they're lurking

Quietly violent like a bad dream
They pursue day and night, they never rest like a hunting beast
A shadow in the corner of my eye and at the heels of my feet
Do they see any good in all this somehow?
I could charge them for murder 'cause they're killing my spirit now
It shouldn't be allowed

'Cause they're dragging my faith out of me
It was not for the taking
Look the vultures are perching
And they're dragging my faith out of me
Everything I believed in
Look out in the waters they're lurking

'Cause they're dragging my faith out of me
It was not for the taking
Look the vultures are perching
And they're dragging my faith out of me
Everything I believed in
Look out in the waters they're lurking
