lyrics

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 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 all 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

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
