Birds of Prey Lyrics by Fit for an Autopsy

The Sea of Tragic Beasts

2019

[Chorus]
Eyes in the sky have you under control
The inner light collapses in the blackest of the black holes
A sacrifice of body and soul
To the great leviathan that swallows us whole
[Verse 1]
The mouth is sewn shut, it cannot protest
The hands are shackled, it cannot resist
The brain is poisoned, it cannot question
Numb enough to function through mental repression
[Refrain]
Fear is the perfect prison
Manipulate the model citizen
Abuse of power
The final hour
A crushing pressure to fall in line
As the machine grinds to a halt for the last time
[Verse 2]
Birds of prey
Fly too close to the sun
And as the wings of the phoenix burn
The world will come undone
[Chorus]
Eyes in the sky have you under control
The inner light collapses in the blackest of the black holes
A sacrifice of body and soul
To the great leviathan that swallows us whole
[Post-Chorus]
Paralyzed
We cower in the face of our demise
The parasite that consumes the will to live from the inside
[Verse 3]
Oh, wretched life void of serenity
A paradise turned to atrocity
Slowly conditioned to feel no sympathy
Failing future, moral slavery
[Refrain]
Fear is the perfect prison
Manipulate the model citizen
Abuse of power
The final hour
A crushing pressure to fall in line
As the machine grinds to a halt for the last time
[Bridge]
To the abyss
We surrender the fire to exist
Leviathan
Swallower of sin
We end where we begin
In nothingness
[Outro]
We end where we begin
In nothingness
We end where we begin
In nothingness
We end where we begin
In nothingness
