Scavengers from The Double by Charming Disaster

Kind visitors, messenger birds
Wise vultures your witnesses
Old bones, ancient history
Make some kind of ritual

In the skeleton's cage is a prisoner
Gaze through the eyes where the life force still flickers
Find the remains of the beautiful
Savage as scavengers
Scatter the evidence
In the cry of the owl something's quickening
Is there someone who is listening

Strange vision, commotion of wings
Black birds keeping vigil
Deathbed of a carrion king
Eerie apparition

In the skeleton's cage is a treasure
Ruby enfolded in muscle and tendon
Reach through the bars it is beckoning
Savage as scavengers
Scatter the evidence
And the shape in the fire is whispering:
Light up the burden you’re carrying

Take what you need
Give what you keep
Burn what you leave
Find what you seek
How do you know what to
Take what you need
Give what you keep
Burn what you leave
Find what you seek

How do you know what to take
What to leave behind you
How can you release your mistakes
Let the buzzards find you

In the skeleton's cage holy relics
Down in the leaves breaking down to their elements
Spirit unleashed from the carcass
Savage as scavengers
Scatter the evidence
When it’s time for your hour of reckoning
You will rise from the place of your burying

Kind visitors, messenger birds
Wise vultures your witnesses
Old bones, ancient history
Make some kind of ritual
