The Vulture (Acts I & II) Lyrics
When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.
Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vulture
To dine on the corpse.
Cursed are the places you have been,
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water.
When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.
Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vultures
To dine on the corpse.
Cursed are the places you have been,
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water.
This is the end
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vulture
To dine on the corpse.
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water.
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vultures
To dine on the corpse.
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water.

it's clearly "you WON'T be remembered, no-one will speak your name"
clearly isnt
It's "you WON'T be remembered and it's "you drag the LEGS". I don't know how the hell you drag a lake.
It says 'you will drag the LAKES' in the lyrics in the booklet that comes with the CD

and it's "you WILL be remembered" and "drag the LAKES". It's in the booklet that comes with the album, as I prefer to pay money for great music, instead of download whole albums.

-Dragging a lake means you are searching the lake for dead bodies. Oddly enough, I've heard it referenced in many lyrics by bands like Bring Me the Horizon, Everytime I Die and Atticus. Huh!

'you will be remembered, no-one will speak your name' makes sense to me.. the way i see the song is it's about someone who works with a dictator (like Adolf Hitler or similar) so that line is about infamy and he'll be remembered for his horrible acts..so people won't speak the name because of that?
could be about Josef Mengele the so called Angel of Death. try looking at it this way way,
when you work for the father (Führer) your sin is never saved (too vile an act) you carry the net (rounding up minorities) and he holds the spade (to bury them) you will drag the lakes (own the land) and he will rob the graves (disrespect the dead)
Cursed are the places you have been You lead us there and forced us in (death camps) Take the girls to become the daughters (he expiramented on children, called them his own) If the horses wont drink drown them in the water. ('you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink', kill those who don't accept your beliefs or do what you say)
just my view on it.
Apparently it's about kids dying before their parents, and Frank Carter said himself it's about one particular kid becoming Death's Apprentice, no need for naziness.

In the version i have you hear an old train at the end..Perhaps to the camps? Your interpretation is sound.. Even if it's not what the band says it's about.
