about

The first song we practiced and added to the set - a ghost of our past with new flesh upon old bones, previously recorded and released with our genetic cousin band THE DEATH OF JOHNNY ALPHA, now a staple of all live shows and a crowd favourite.

DEATH - though upon first listen - may seem a pessimistic song, it is actually deeply philosophical about the idea of love, loss, life and regret and looking for a burst and spark of all of this in even the darkest moments.

Writen to reflect the stages of grief, it is a ballad to beginning anew.
and embracing that which is lost, to forever remember its brilliance.

lyrics

THE SUN WILL NOT RISE TOMORROW
ITS LIGHT HAS ABONDONED THE SKY
THE MOON AND THE STARS TOGETHER
HAVE BOTH LAY DOWN AND DIED

YOU, AND I.
WE WILL SURVIVE
UNTIL...
WE...
BOTH...
DIE!

THAT IS THE LIGHT AND THE LIE.

THE MOON AND THE STARS TOGETHER
HAVE BOTH ABONDONED THE SKY
THE SUN, EVER SO CLEVER
HAS JUST LAID DOWN AND DIED.

YOU AND I
WE WILL SURVIVE
UNTIL...
WE...
BOTH...
DIE...

THAT IS THE LIGHT AND THE LIE.

WE, ALL GET ONE CHANCE.
ONE HOPE, ONE CHANCE AT LIFE.
SO WHY DO WE RUIN IT,
WITH LIES, HATE, BRUTALITY AND DRAIN...
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HONESTY, LOVE, LIFE, AND REGRET.

YOU AND I WILL SURVIVE
EVEN AS THE SUN LAYS DOWN AND DIES
YOU AND I WILL SURVIVE...
WE WILL GO, WAY UP HIGH, HIDE AWAY IN THE SKY.

DIE! DIE! DIE!
THAT IS THE LIGHT AND THE LIE.

LOOK.
INTO THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE WHO YOU LOVE.
LOOK.
INTO THE HEART OF THE PEOPLE WHO YOU TRUST,
THERE...
YOU'LL FIND HEAVEN THERE,
YOU'LL FIND YOUR HEAVEN THERE.

THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL FIND GOD.

YOU'LL FIND HEAVEN THERE.
THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND GOD.

Eagles Born Vultures Stratford Upon Avon, UK

Born from the re-animated cells of some of the most progressive of the Midlands departed Hardcore and Metal bands, EAGLES BORN VULTURES are an evolution of sound and attitude exploding from Shakespeare's graveyard and waving flags of discontent at a disenfranchised populace of drones and worker bees...
