V is for Vulture (feat. Berzan Önen)
-
La Vultire
In tenebris devorantis
La Vultire
In tenebris, mundus cadit

You thank your god for another day
Transfixed by devotion and pride
You come to me, seeking hope and grace
Your name is guilt, and my love is a lie

Vulgar paranoia gripping fast
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!

I let you in. You crawl on your knees
Do as I say, repent as you’re told
You are all faith, yet your heart is fear
I’ll sell you Heaven for the price of hate

Vulgar paranoia gripping fast
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
Penitent sheep dancing on my strings
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!

Pray for me and let me own your dreams
Sanctify! Sacrifice!
Pray for me and I’ll prey on your soul
Sanctify! Sacrifice!
Sacrifice!

La Vultire
In tenebris devorantis
La Vultire
In tenebris, mundus cadit
La Vultire
In tenebris devorantis

Vulgar paranoia gripping fast
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
Penitent sheep dancing on my strings
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!

Vulgar paranoia gripping fast
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
Penitent sheep dancing on my strings…
Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!

Pray for me and let me own your dreams
Sanctify! Sacrifice!
Pray for me and all your thoughts are mine
Sanctify! Sacrifice!

Pray for me and I’ll prey on your soul
You pray for me! Pray for me!
You pray for me! Pray for me!
Pray for me, obedience is bliss
Pray for me! You pray for me! Pray for me!

In the shadows, fate will find you
As your trials lift me higher
Let me guide you to the fire
I’m your host down below

Down below
Let me seize your dreams
Pray for me!
‘Cause you are bought and sold

You pray for me!
And let me own your dreams
Pray for me!
And all your thoughts are mine
Pray for me!
Ignorance is blessed
You pray for me
And I’ll prey on your soul

Music and Lyrics by Bruno Rios

'V is for Vulture' exposes the terrifying reality of blind faith and mass manipulation, confronting the horrors that arise when devotion turns into fanaticism. While religion serves as background, that’s a metaphor that can be applied to many other aspects in modern society—from political polarization and fascism to fake news and the impact of social media.

Paranoia Church is a Brazilian Horror Metal project, made in Canada, led by guitarist Bruno Rios. Known for his work with the band Walking Back to Hell, Bruno hails from Fortaleza, Brazil, where he was active in the underground scene since 1998. With Walking Back to Hell, he released an EP in 2007 and shared the stage with acts such as Power Metal legends Angra, and the Brazilian rockers Velhas Virgens.

Paranoia Church plans to release a full-length album in 2025.
