Vultures Prey
Mammoth Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Towards unknown lands
Through the desolate tundra
Through a wasted land
The herd is marching
The strong before the weak
Beneath the raging skies
Seen through the eyes of the raven
Circling vultures prey
The herd keeps marching
Through raging winds
The weak keeps falling
Vultures prey
The herd keeps marching
Through Mammoth Storms
Raging blizzards
All shall fall
Seen through the eyes of the raven
Circling vultures prey
In the song "Vultures Prey" by Mammoth Storm, the lyrics describe a herd of creatures marching towards unknown lands through a desolate and wasted tundra. The strong lead the way while the weak struggle to keep up, and the group faces intense weather conditions such as raging winds and blizzards. Throughout it all, vultures circle overhead, waiting to prey on those who fall.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggles of life and the harsh realities that come with it. The herd represents humanity, facing a harsh and unpredictable world that can be unforgiving to those who cannot keep up. The vultures symbolize death and the constant threat that it poses to everyone. Even in the face of these challenges, the herd keeps marching forward, driven by a desire for rebirth and renewal.
The repeated line "seen through the eyes of the raven" adds a sense of foreboding and darkness to the lyrics. It suggests that there is something ominous about the situation, and that the vultures may be more than just scavengers waiting for a meal.
