Egyptian Vulture

Egyptian Vulture meets a Lion Like a king of all beasts looks that lion Lion says fallow me And I’ll set you free But beware of the snake he is That which will keep you from enjoying my bliss Vulture fallows the Lion for a while But then Lion tries to eat him with an arrogant smile Escaping with his life vulture meets the snake He sees knowledge of science in the snake He fallows the snake But snake also piece of vulture tries to take Having no fate in which to hide And losing all his pride Egyptian Vulture finds his own bliss In aerial abyss He drops a stone on lion and snake as well Having a battle with both heaven and hell It is at that moment Egyptian Vulture notices he has wings And only to God of aerial expanse his allegiance he sings
