The vultures stare, what does it mean?
Does something wicked this way come?
Nothing is as it seems

They gather silently in the trees
No one knows where from
The vultures stare, what does it mean?

They peck at my heart upon my sleeve
Gray in judgment: cold in blood
Nothing is as it seems

Love is blind, and lovers cannot see
Rough winds do shake the darling buds
The vultures stare, what does it mean?

Happiness takes his leave.
Rain pounds earth into mud
Nothing is as it seems

To be, or not to be?
The tides surge and valleys flood
The vultures stared, what did it mean?
Nothing is as it seemed
