Eye of a Stranger
Vultures Vengeance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All around me
the crowd has made the sign
While in front of me
the gallows are calling

Reflected in the blade's greed
I saw him staring at me
""Do not avoid the calling
Or soon you will be bound
To the Eye of the Stranger""

And as I crossed his sight
a child with sad eyes
says ""The warning was told,
the price was chosen""

And he walked away from me
reciting an old belief

""Do not avoid the calling




Or soon you will be bound
To the Eye of the Stranger""

Overall Meaning

In "Eye of a Stranger" by Vultures Vengeance, the lyrics paint a dark and intense picture of a crowd gathered around, making a sign, while the singer stands in front of the gallows, feeling the pull and call of impending doom. The reflection of greed in the blade symbolizes the singer's contemplation of their own choices and actions. They suddenly notice someone staring at them, a stranger who seems to possess a profound wisdom and warns them not to avoid their destiny as it will eventually bind them to the stranger's watchful eye.


A poignant moment occurs when a child with sad eyes appears and affirms that the warning has been given, and the price has been chosen. This suggests that the singer is fully aware of the consequences of their actions but continues on their path regardless. As the child walks away, reciting an old belief, it becomes clear that avoiding the calling will only prolong their fate and ultimately bring them closer to the mysterious and judgmental eye of the stranger.


This song delves into themes of fate, self-acceptance, and the burden of one's choices. The lyrics metaphorically convey the internal struggle of an individual caught between their desired path and the inevitable consequences that await them. The concept of the stranger and their all-seeing eye adds an element of mystery and foreboding to the narrative.
