Black Vulture
Everything around is just beauty
April sun and the forest in bloom
But Black Vulture, blind in the eyes
Not seeing the light, oh, sings in pain
But Black Vulture, blind in the eyes
Not seeing the light, oh, sings in pain
Perhaps out of ignorance
Or the worst kind of malice
They pierced Black Vulture's eyes
So he could sing better, oh
They pierced Black Vulture's eyes
So he could sing better, oh
Black Vulture lives free
But can't fly
A thousand times the fate of a cage
As long as the sky, oh, could be seen
A thousand times the fate of a cage
As long as the sky, oh, could be seen
Black Vulture, my singing
Is as sad as yours
They also stole my love
Which was the light, oh, of my eyes
They also stole my love
Which was the light, oh, of my eyes
