Birds Of Prey - Deep Purple

Alarm bells ringing clear

Break the calm before the fall

Bad news travels at the speed of flight

Good news not at all

And here we are again

Playing endless games of war

Birds of prey

Without a word of warning

We dive in to attack

Vengeful and self-righteous

We turn the blue sky black

And a wretched few escape

They'll be forever looking back

At our sacrifice

And the golden sun is rising

At the dawn of a beautiful day

In the name of all that's holy

In the name of history

In the face of life and nature

We are driven by belief

Our faith a crumbling fortress

Once perfect and sublime

Will fail again and rise again

Until the death

Until the death of time
