Amethyst Deceivers Lyrics

Pay your respects to the vultures
For they are your future
Our fathers and mothers
Have failed to release us
Into the welcoming arms
Of the amethyst deceivers

It's about death, it's pretty obvious. We should be aware of that we are all going to die, and we should appreciate life. And we were born to die. Anyway, "Pay your respects to the vultures" is the best metaphor of death I've ever heared.
