“Vultures” is the only acoustic track in the album, it talks about the people who just think in money, as Ben Bruce said in an interview with Rock Sound magazine:
[…] That’s what “Vultures” is about. It’s about everyone in suits behind the scenes pulling the strings. It addresses the inner struggle...
[Verse 1]
Close the curtains, cash me in
Gather photographs of the Devil you let in
Digging deep inside my soul
I don't know, I don't know
[Chorus]
Where to turn
Everywhere I look, these vultures burn
The life right outta me, do I run?
Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes? (My eyes, my eyes)
[Verse 2]
Keep me numb, I'll follow direction
A pawn to pass around and be bled until I'm dry

Where do I turn?
Everywhere I look, these vultures burn
The life right outta me, do I run
Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes?
Where do I turn?
Everywhere I look, these vultures burn
The life right outta me, do I run
Or lay down and die? Is it time to close my eyes?

Ben Bruce told Rock Sound:
“Vultures” is one of my favorite tracks on the album and there’s a cool story behind it. I actually wrote it back in 2014 right after ‘From Death To Destiny’ came out and I showed it to Danny and he wrote the lyrics. It was at a time when there was so much turmoil in the...
