Lyrics

In the state of illinois
There’s a bird of prey
Always looming over me
Flying in its circles
It’s cry haunts me
You can hide in the corn fields
But it’ll still find you
With sharp eyes it’s glare
Sees all your fears
Numerous are their numbers
No place to escape
In every city
I see the birds of prey looming
Over all it’s city folk
People watching
Lying in wait
For their next victim
This damn system
Will never change
A hunter can shoot
The bird of prey that flies
But it’s babies will remember
And avenge their fallen mother
You can take our peace of mind
You can take our freedoms
But we’ll always remember
The cruelty you inflicted
On the bird of prey
That looms over
Waiting for it’s chance to strike
A corrupted system
May americas downfall
Be the bird of prey
That looms over its land
With eyes like knives
And talons like swords
With a pitch so loud
Your ears will bleed
When you hear the pain in it’s voice
But still the hunter never cared
And only took the feathers
Of those who cultivated them theirselves
The hunter lives off
The lives of those
Who are victims to the system they can’t help be born into, and their screeches are never heard
So that bird of prey continues to loom
Waiting for it’s time to strike
The greedy hunter
Who stole its feathers
And it’s eggs
Took everything dear
Including it’s own home
F**k you, and your system
Let that bird of prey realised your own downfall
Bleed and cry
Just as they did
And never be helped
Just as you never helped
Let your skin be ripped and used as trophies, and your babies heads as prizes, just as you did,
To that bird of prey, who was once wild and free.
