The Vulture Lyrics

It's the rise of the vulture
I'm feeling the panic
All those who are nervous
With loss of dynamic
Your mind's been poisoned
If your heart is sour
Hear the sound of the war drums

We're taking your power
(We're taking your power)
[x2]

It's the rise of the vulture
Gonna keep on climbing
No chance of escape
No use in hiding
Into the eye of the storm
With the silver lining
To the point where it breaks
Gonna keep on grinding

(We're taking your power)
We're taking your power
(We're taking your power)

Overboard
Under pressure
[x3]

We're taking your power
(We're taking your power)
[x3]

this reminds me of DDR haha

@pqhooligan Someone (Ian Pyles?) actually created stepcharts to almost every Pendulum song. Expert charts range from 10 to 16. I believe this one is an 11.

The tribe called "Vulture" rises and conquests all lesser tribes. Its warriors are fearless(they are not those who are nervous) and honorful(their pride isnt poisoned and heart isnt sour) and that is what makes the "Vulture" better than others.

My Interpretation

If anyone has ever hurt you, if you are an outcast, or just generally sick of today's society then rise up as the minority. The minority will no longer refuse to back down, and we will rise as the higher power.
