No need for apologies
If you let me in
No need for astronomy
Where our space begins
I've been looking for the truth
In shards of evermore
Now they're circling over bodies
Where I used to dwell before
All you vultures
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows, no one knows
That gaze in your scarlet eyes
Towards the other side
Short lived as a dragonfly
But the end is nigh
Life in itself is an unknown disease
But I will try to put you at ease
Those nooks and crannies
Harboring light
Fulgur ignis spiritus
Level the veil tonight
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows (no one knows)
Ooh, go
All you vultures
All you vultures
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows, no one knows
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows
If you let me in
No need for astronomy
Where our space begins
I've been looking for the truth
In shards of evermore
Now they're circling over bodies
Where I used to dwell before
All you vultures
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows, no one knows
That gaze in your scarlet eyes
Towards the other side
Short lived as a dragonfly
But the end is nigh
Life in itself is an unknown disease
But I will try to put you at ease
Those nooks and crannies
Harboring light
Fulgur ignis spiritus
Level the veil tonight
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows (no one knows)
Ooh, go
All you vultures
All you vultures
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows, no one knows
Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows

This track portrays a sense of isolation and desperation that comes with the search for truth and understanding. The theme of the song centers around a character who is seeking answers to the meaning of life and is experiencing a profound sense of loneliness as a result. The character seems to be struggling internally with the existential question of what happens after one dies, and is feeling overwhelmed and abandoned. The mention of vultures circling over bodies where the character used to dwell hints at a loss or abandonment of previously held beliefs or ideals. Overall, "Vultures" by Soilwork explores the search for truth and understanding in the face of loneliness and the realization of the unknown. It is a haunting and melancholic portrait of the human struggle to come to terms with the inevitability of death and the fear of the unknown.
