Cryptopsy - Carrionshine

After the fire, their bodies at rest Beyond mere blood, beyond mere breath: Their terror summons the vapours of fright A mating call to things of the night The things they'll become after they die Have called to us before their time: The dark horse of dreams has brought them here To this Ur-Place that feeds on fear Where the only light comes from their bones That glow, now: all their flesh is gone (A) Voice between rivers Sings (the) truth that destroys Then it laughs like a dog (The) Voice between worlds Has existence to void And it dwells in their bones «That which was drawn in sand for me By the man of blood Whose hand never ends Heralds all mortality And he-who-waits-beneath-the-scream» Oh, to be possessed of carrionshine To dream past the limits of carcasskind The prayer goes: «Unite to thee thy bones - What appertains to thee is complete»
