Postmortem Ritual Songtext
von Darker by Design

Coated in human cremations
Among the charnel grounds
We conjure the arcane

On this night, we shall dismember and dine upon the flesh of the dead
But first let us sever the head, in a devout ritual of divine madness
Sacredly, we must now split and crack open the decapitated skull
Siphoning the nectar from this inanimate brain
Before we exploit the carrion of this putrid offering

Honoring our necrophagic needs, on mortal spoilage we feast
These practices accompany our ecstasy
Renouncing every earthy belief; coming face to face with disease
Morbid enlightenment has been achieved


Harvesting the purity from filth
We see the beauty in disgust
We celebrate the end of days
For this life wasn′t meant for us
Intoxicated by the strange
Weaving between these profound flames
Chanting our mantras of decay
In death's name we pray

Climbing on top this headless corpse
This lifeless husk is now an altar
Upon it we mystically worship the deceased
Separating ourselves from this existential false reality
As this night unfolds our elated minds unwind
We′ve been set free from all reincarnation

Casting all our sorrows aside
For everything we know is a lie
We were never meant to remain alive
We're already dead; long live our termination

To the fire we all must sacrifice
The temptations that bind us to this world
We embrace death with open arms!
May we never live again!

In death's name we pray
(We pray to die)


Take us away!
Deliver us to thee; destroyer of vitality
In death′s name we pray
This life is yours to take!
Bleed us from this futile existence
