Vultures Descend - Disentomb

Their icon of hope nailed down, bound by steel

Bleeding for his crown, the Golgothian monument

Rising from the earth, sentenced to suffer

Screams turn to whimpers

Baked under the sun, skin blistering

Vultures circle overhead waiting for their prey

Abandoned on his cross

His told truths were lies, sentenced to suffer

The messenger bloated, half-eaten, the prophecies unfulfilled

Picked apart, exposed muscle, a failure to his father

Abandoned on his cross on the mountain of Golgotha

Vultures descend

Abandoned by his father disciples witness the decay of their lord

The messenger bloated, a failure to his father’s plan

False messiah stripped bare on his symbol of suffering
