Burial 5. The Dead Sing listen to the song which we sing you mortal fools it is a song of vengeance filled with hate for the fury and flame of hell is burning burning your soul, binding your fate we will take what we need, there is no egress we will sate our desires on all that is left since the dawn of time evil has lived and dwelled walking the shadows between the worlds searing the flesh tearing the spirit scorched beyond existence burnt to ashes the skies turned to fire all perished in flame boiling the blood igniting the soul as dreams are scattered, who's next for the pyre? whose essence is condemned to the fire? we need your soul to set us free the hundreth soul, corrupt and guilty poisoned souls trapped in the dark with no hope of salvation await the eve of destruction, to cross to your dimension all the denizens of hell will journey from that world to visit pain and darkness upon every man and child the sentence is death, and pain you'll not escape struggle for breath in vain your nemesis is shaped what a miserable way to die! skin stripped from flesh your lifeless body cast into nothingness spectres are hunting, for mortal life all your souls will be devoured! vengeance is completed by the torments of hell even the dead shall shred tears of fear hatred is satiated by the lost souls that fell even the dead cry for help; cry for help! 6. Invitation To Die we fear the cold blackness that night represents and at dawn we watch the shadows flee the night yet our pleasure is muted before life's final event for we know that we face the eternal night our fragile lives are pulled by the strings of every impulse and desire the cruel unknown may be the thing that puts a cold blade to the wire a crowded street with a thousand faces may hold one with murder in his eyes for death can hide in many different places and shadows conceal the sharpest knives at each corpse claimed by an act of violence we think it's always "someone else" but what if no-one else was sacrificed? what if the victim was yourself? contemplate your own morality the curse that marks all of humanity you can never know your final moment but worse, you can never avoid it we all are born just to perish to loose all that we truly cherish a life turned to ashes... a life turned to ashes... 7. Pathetic 8. Curse Of Izanagi I refuse to follow the path of the righteous as I believe in the power of izanagi forbidden knowledge I will unleash my curse will last for eternity the word is death, your own death is stalking you torment of hell, an infernal spell cast upon you trapped for eternity, it's your destiny your fate lies in the cruelty of my eyes kegare sawari, the symbol of obscenity in tales untold except in dread whispers eating your flesh and draining vitality travelling across the inverted river seven altars, seven stones seven hells, seven graves 12 dolls, 73 nails rokudougohei the inverted blade now I release all of my spite which lurks in the very depth of my being secret rite of izanagi held at midnight calling forth names with ancient meaning cursed for eternity, where your soul will languish before izanagi's power you fools are vanguished daiitoku rages from the three-sided altar making a straw doll to bring about your fall die! vomiting blood you're condemned to hell, the stake will seal the curse inside in shoulders, shins and the heart I impale the doll five times may you and all your kin be annihilated by my curse the light of life fades as the midnight rites are versed let the blood-flowers bloom burn, wither; your blood is red let the blood-flowers bloom torn to pieces; your blood is black my spell will seal your fate with all my malice and hate fear! summoning fudo to appear, shikiouji 21,33,49 izanagi annihilation incineration now the fatal seven keys are locked reincarnation of the infernal serpent now I release all of my spite... burn 9. Seed Of Eternity my hate, my rage; all the anger, all the blame all the feelings that I have bred fade as I am dead my thoughts and my will incinerate in searing flame all the visions come back to me no more tears to shed at the very moment of ecstasy I feel death so expressly death stems from life and life from death it cycles endlessly it was revealed to me all will vanish into the void as my coffin starts to burn I have found out the truth all will vanish into the void as the fire licks my soul the broken strings of my life bless my death please! I travel to what lies beyond the endless sea it's not what I crave, but after the grave must be a meaning to all that is to be we are all blind! flowers in bloom that I've never seen meadows a million hues of green I hear voices calling my name but where am I? songs of beauty the birds sing in the wind leaves are rustling through the dark I see the light where am I? my desire, my lust they won't just fade away everything will perish in an endless burning blaze my love, my hate; with open arms I'll await the day the days I remember now seem like dreams an illusion without light you should know no matter how I live or how I die, the result will be the same no matter how I live of how I die, only the seeds remain the seeds of hope the seed of an angel the seed of a devil or the seed of nothingness it may be no use denying it, here is the proof nothing else shall remain, only the truth! may it be heaven, may it be hell may it be truth, may it be false may it be death, may it be life may it be shadow, may it be light but the truth should be buried! new dimension, open it's gate! your curious eyes, where life and death collide and for the first time I thought the tears shed were beautiful there must be a cure but a sad cure indeed my blood runs through the vessels then I bleed nothing to fear so I enter the fire my last vestige of life expires a last breath, so deep before endless sleep before my family weeps even after my flesh decays, I'll live on inside of you...
