on their trail up to the sky
creatures wander through the night on their own
and share only fear of the dark
when the god who they pray to is gone
for the selfish there’s a law
that will tear them all apart into fire
to burn in the ashes of hell
when they don’t deserve well they shall die
oh when the devil’s around
no one dares make a sound
so he won’t drag us down
oh when we look to the sky
mind the vultures up high
for in time they’ll come down
in a race for dreams in gold
all the creatures running cold from inside
and only know love when they’ve lost
what they had in a tomb for their soul
then at last they’re praying come down my god
forgive me my sins and embrace me again
oh now the racing is done
and nobody has won
by the dawn of the sun
and the children they learn
from the creatures and burn
in the same stupid run
oh come down my god
forgive me my sins and embrace me again
