Vultures Lyrics

Disgusted by every family forced out of their homes
Appalled by the vampires sucking the blood from the land
Just victims of a crime committed on an industrial scale
I have seen the day fade to night
Vultures circle the earth
Burn down your forest
So they can't take it
This is your life, I don't want it
This is my world, you can't have it
I will not stand by and watch you suck the blood from the earth
I have seen the falling sky
I have seen the oceans rise
I have watched day fade to night
Vultures circle the earth
You are the vulture that encircles the earth
Pick out the eyes of every man that you serve
And when the predators have had their feed
You line your pockets with a wealth in greed
You scavenge every piece of human flesh
Taking everything until there's nothing left
I have seen the day fade into the night
Vultures circle the earth

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
