I have been embraced by the rain
I have been embraced by the rain
I have been embraced by the rain
Surrounded by summer thunder
I have been embraced by the rain
When I cried out, and no-one else came

Is it all futile after all?
Your back's against the wall
Is it all futile after all?
Are you just crawling to the end?
Come with us and give to them
Are you just crawling to the end?
The Vultures take your mind you know
The Vultures take your mind you know, and...
Is there no shelter from the storm?
You're crippled and forlorn
Is there no shelter from the storm?
Never acknowledge, just repress,
I feel the friction in my chest
Never acknowledge, just repress
Take your money off the shelf
Take a whip and make them snarl
Try'na keep it for yourself
Cos I don't wanna call
I don't need it
I don't need it
I'm defeated
Not completed
And it's a waster of time
The Vultures take your mind you know
The Vultures take your mind you know
The Vultures take your mind you know
The Vultures take your mind you know, and...
Is it all futile after all?
Your back's against the wall
Is it all futile after all?

The Gypsies wake in a woodland slown and slurred with snow
their eyes iced shut, fingers counting the cold's cost.
Somebody spades spindrift over the campfire's ghost.
Steam gasps from charred bones, from bone-white embers.
The Gypsies say they spent the night placing pantles for birds,
how they need to nab nightingales to trade at Christmas fairs.
There's a price on the crowns for those minds quick with melodies.
Winter nights in walled towns will ring with their airs.
This is what they say. The Gypsies can't explain the frozen doe.
That tarp must have been blown over her with those snows.
She perished of cold so they helped their knives to her.
They knew the danger, sure. Weren't they sleeping in the dangers?
All this is clishmaclaver to the bailiff and his boys.
The morning drags itself from the far face of a planet.
There are haloes arraying the stares of every star.
Their snow-tracks strike away together before they part.
