Archaic Burial Rites Lyrics

Behold an empty vessel, many lives were lost to build your
tomb. Cast the ruins before them, cut out what may return
Place their heads beneath them, speak unholy psalms.
Now the Grave has embraced you all, the rotting crypt
it is your fate
Sealed within to never wake, you are cursed.
Burn the Dead, Remove the flesh, savage embalming,
you crawl from your crypt
Obscured by the living to make sure you're dead, consecrate
your remains with silver. Enshrined in steel to anoint you all
Inhumation when you're dead and lifeless, decapitation as your
skull is ruptured. Dead with your vessels buried,
heart removed then burned
Obedience unquestioned, complete devotion,
Aggressive incursion, Overt infraction
An obelisk of stone adorns your closing tomb mass of bones
build where your entombed, vile tissue to complete the
dirge, Funeral song was sung in reverse, they cracked your
withered skull then cut your head free. Your life was burned
in wicked stance, to your remains your life was given.
Darkness rising forever, existence will not last.
Eternal encasement it waits for us all, covered in maggots,
the séance is cold, The darkness is warm
