Grave Miasma Odori Sepulcrorum 1. Death's Meditative Trance Assuming posture of Shavasana Through a narrow gateway of infinity A thousand eyes of Vairocana Shall watch my ascent Transfigured stars rest in each nexus Sacred letters surround walls Face of the faceless ones Form of the formless one The everlasting wheel is unveiled Eternity's voyage is unleashed A once ordained passage The entrance of oblivion Where inanimate convalesce A thousand eyes watch the ascent Face of the faceless ones Form of the formless one Rest the Gods with no centre All pervasive bearers of the third eye Beckon me to join the ranks of the dead The light of Mahakala Call of the faceless one The force of omnipotence The light of Mahakala Return to the corpse Sounds pierce The lower waters of purification The levitation is complete We must die - be born anew Hear this utterance - one of rebirth Beckoning me to join the ranks of the dead I can see the light of Mahakala I am drawn nearer,nearer The light of Mahakala Call of the faceless one The force of omnipotence The light of Mahakala The light of death 2. Ascension Eye Etched by the hands of idolators Carved by winds,there stands an efface A grotesque hue from aeons past Aligned on eroded walls of negation Resemblance to valley is olfactory Where deities crumbled and shattered By afflicted feet,on sands of polarities The ruminant paths crossed by many Assimilate and devour Form a chasm Where there lies A crypt of abstract immortality Disembodied spirits dwell inside By Moloch's hand Pass through flames To the Beyond From womb of initiation Black ash of the offerings Red image,flaxen stone Grant depth and light Assimilate,devour He is the purifier He,the one who is just He,the abominable shrine He is the bearer of the eye of ascension Protector of wanton rites Destroyer,of processions that pass Guarantor of passage Sanctifier - Ashtar-Kemosh Guardian of the embalmed A primal dawn shall rise Over the one,ascetic eye With raised arms,flanked by two seals That control tides Overseer of thirteen gates of wisdom Hollows of devotion and transfiguration Blessed by the lord of corruption Assimilate and devour Form a chasm Where there lie Burial Chambers 3. Ovation To A Thousand Lost Reveries Disintegrate my anatomy with divine breath Initiate within an endless hall I am there Mystic light of the dead Lead us towards dissolution Hidden chant of a voice For your utterance bears no source For it's brighter than a thousand stars Flowing from the pores of luminosity Carried by the flight of transference Adorn with ecstatic reveries The Yacquis term it dreaming For Tibetans, the stages of Bardo Therein lies the portal Of our altered existence For emisseral projections Emisseral projections I am detached from the body I am no longer but flesh 4. Έσχατος Suspended in the hanging dimension Vitality beyond comprehension Projections further, further beyond the void Penetrated nature behind visions Paradoxical existence less physical form Abandonment of the flesh Elevates realms of turbulent illumination Commit the shell to fade Sacrament of the expanse Of shadows and rays Omniscient radiance heeds the light of the end Awakening from the slumber of mortality To dissonances of the intermediate state Surrender to magnitude of impermanence Hark the exaltation of loss Freedom from the world of matter Alienation from the past Euphoria turning to anguish Sorrow eclipse elation έσχατος In the mouth of perpetual light έσχατος Inhale the rotten stench In the mouth of perpetual light Claustrophobic fumes of spiritual degradation Mists darken Towards the joyless plane I transmigrate 5. Odoratus Sepulcrorum He speaks through the moon that he may be renewed 'A wondrous crown for those who were born from me An altar of earth thou shalt make' Exiled flesh restores the composite mass The sacred marriage, a visceral attraction To enriched earth, the offerings from blessed death I take my place in the charnel grounds A witness to the molecular rites of Shiva Inheritance of this image of infinity Limitless dormancy The timeless realm of a gaping abyss Repatriation to Mother Death Open mouths chant the fervent hymn Open the quarters of the city of silence Glyphs adorn grey tombs Protect the conception Womb of palingenesis Configured in soil Sanctified by the winds Moss and secretion The reverent feastings Odoratus sepulcrorum To enriched earth The offerings from blessed death Open mouths chant the fervent hymn Rejoice! O putrefaction, the divine breath 6. Interlude [Instrumental] 7. Seven Coils Limitless sense of doom Reincarnates with undulating pulsations of gnosis Pierced with tongues of fiery revelation The breath separates layers of life's narrow gate Unfettered from earthly bounds The veil of Eleusinian mystery is lifted This is the night of nights, where worlds colide And where incense shall rise Expose us to the cosmic winds Incandescent suns will surface In the hearts of our void's emanation The flesh is surrendered in Without skin, beyond marrow and bone Renounced will The laws of another devour The flesh is surrendered in The laws of another devour Unravelled, the essence is clear Affirmation of lore turned spirit Unravelled,the essence is clear Renounced will The laws of another devour The serpent shall straighten down the middle pillar The spine shall coil through the second layer The serpent shall straighten down the middle pillar The spine shall coil through the second layer Shells of skin unravel to the abode of I have strayed into the all prevailing waters Deeper than deep, where the rule of foreign gods is manifold And primordial formations divided the laws of our re-birth Unravelled in seven coils Raise a voice within Forfeit to Adya My body is a vessel to speak through They comprise of seven coils The found reflection Machinations lay bare The revelation is opague Through none shall dissipate From chaos spawns belief 8. Ossuary Defy laws of decay Reversed passage, remain t'ellurian Holy rites of preservation The flesh has left the body Initiated in the grand ossuary To renew in greater majesty For a soul is to redeem Unchained for momento mori Initiated in the grand ossuary Spared by the worms of fate denied, no return to dust Robes of piety adorn Surgite mortui Venerated morbidity, blaspheme the redeemer With human remains Close the gates of time Open those of eternity A – Bass D – Drums, Percussion R – Guitars, Flute, Lyrics on "έσχατος" Y – Guitars, Vocals, Persian Setar, Oud, Hammond Organ, Lyrics
