Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying day
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying day
And this city swells with hunger
And this city, it is bruised
And this city swells with mourning
And this city cuts its wounds
And this city's bleeding anguish
And this city smells of pain
And this city moans its anthem
As your life it sighs away
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying day
And your angels, they've renounced you
And your angels are no more
And they've left you for the city
And the city is their whore
And your angels, they've betrayed you
And they're rejoicing in your pain
And your angels lie in wait now
So that they can steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying day
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying day
And your funeral was deserted
And nobody sang your song
And no-one heard you scream, man
Because your angels were long gone
And you who once was sacred
Have been by them condemned
The very ones who blessed you
Now they celebrate your end
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying day
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures lay in wait, they tried to steal your name
Left to die, where they crucify the sinners
The vultures they smiled on your dying da
