They come down, when they hear no sound, no signs of life.
To rewrite the deal, take over the wheel and secretly burn the bill.
Bring the lies, the alibis, it's too late to pray for you now.
Somewhere between reason and sin is where I'll be.
Once it starts to fade, Once it starts to fall,
Once truth is justified (and thirst is satisfied, tell me)
(Chorus)
Who's gonna stop the rain, the rain?
Who's gonna stop the reign?
Who's gonna stop the reign of vultures
Once they come and take it all away?
I see it now Rotten, shameless, painted black, painted black.
Once they start there's no turning back.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh…
I see it now rotten, shameless, painted black, painted black.
Once they start there's no turning back.
Reign of vultures will take us away.
(Guitar solo: Ivan Keller)

(Chorus)
The rain…the rain
Who's gonna stop the reign, the reign of vultures will take me away.
The rain of vultures will take…
I see it now, I see it now, I see it now
I see it now, I see it now, I see it now
I see it now, I see it now, I see it now.
