lyrics

Scavengers circling round the carcass
You feast upon the dead
Yellow teeth tearing limb from limb
You bathe where they have bled

Mindless cannibal indulgence
Red in tooth and claw

Without empathy you feed on desperation
A feast of bones and dust
Hold on high the entrails of the mourners
And feed the people's lust

Profit at the sacrificial altar
Self is all your law

Bait the hook with the sorrow of your kin
Construct a shell around the void you hold within
Exploit the hearts of those you will devour
As you hunger for their dying hour
Jackals

Race to the bottom
In the name of the bottom line
Truth of little consequence
Deceptive by design
