The Veldt Lyrics by Arida Vortex

The Illustrated Man

2015

Intro

See those dots on the horizon?
Beast have broken from the cage
We strove for bright future
Struggled towards the golden age
Raise your head, there' s no more crying
Over blood already spilt
There's one thing to teach them -
Teach them how to slay and kill

In the blank deserted sky vultures swirl
Black's the round to mark a death below

Masks of family connection
Bring but minutes of relief
Fake smiles and pretenses -
This is how they act and live
Push it harder, throw a tantrum
Get all what is yours to get
You followed the order:
Parents perished, lions fed

In the blank deserted sky vultures swirl
Lock the door and hold it harder, my girl

Age of innocence -
Remember how it felt?
In your eyes now
I see the scorching veldt
Dusty, yellow, sun-dried, hungry
Nothing but the veldt

Solo

Down is all authority to obey
You' re the predator which means I'm prey

Turn around
Take off your lions pelt
In your eyes now
I see the yellow veldt
Hungry, scorching, sun-dried, dying
Nothing but the veldt
