Lyrics: VELOCITRON (遺骨猛吹雪 (2014) single), NECRONOMIDOL (NEMESIS and 遺骨猛吹雪 (2018) single)
Music: Dan Terminus

VULTURE is the first song to have the music commissioned and second to have lyrics written.

This song has no particular horror, supernatural or Lovecraftian influence to its lyrical content.

There was an MV released for this song on June 30th, 2014 (recorded May 31st, 2014) but has since been removed. I asked Ricky about this and he said “Took down the video for VULTURE because it just didn’t come out that well. The members didn’t look great and it had an overall super cheap vibe.”

English Lyrics
Courtesy of NECRONOMIDOL / Ricky Wilson

A blizzard of cremains
The dead are blind

Crimson sky at night
Sinking into blood

Upon a steel earth
Mountains of bleached bones

Caged in by tombstones
Brutality endures

A black wind blows (Take flight)
Harbinger of doom (Ascend)
One after another (Take flight)
The curtain falls (Ascend)

Cold fingers entwine (Take flight)
Around your neck (Ascend)
Everything slowly fades (Take flight)
To pitch blackness (Ascend)

The red, red, red light (Vulture)
Shines, shines, shines upon me (Soaring overhead)
My soul, soul, soul sinking down (Vulture)
Into the, into the, into the ultimate void (Soaring overhead)

A blizzard of cremains
The dead are blind

Crimson sky at night
Sinking into blood

A black wind blows (Take flight)
Harbinger of doom (Ascend)
One after another (Take flight)
The curtain falls (Ascend)

Cold fingers entwine (Take flight)
Around your neck (Ascend)
Everything slowly fades (Take flight)
To pitch blackness (Ascend)

The red, red, red light (Vulture)
Shines, shines, shines upon me (Soaring overhead)
My soul, soul, soul sinking down (Vulture)
Into the, into the, into the ultimate void (Soaring overhead)

A cracked skull
The scent of corpses

The shadow on the battlefield
The sweet taste of rot

Into the darkness
The light of the Other Side

The red, red, red light (Your doom, Your despair)
Shines, shines, shines upon me (Our destiny, Our nourishment)
My soul, soul, soul sinking down (Your doom, Your despair)
Into the, into the, into the ultimate void (Our destiny, Our nourishment)

A blizzard of cremains
The dead are blind
