Generosity of the Deceased Lyrics

Empty shell is placed on a sacred ledge
Exposed to the elements

Pungent odours rise
Scavengers will feast
Cold flesh soon to be devoured
Corpse will be reduced to skeletal remains
Rapid disposal of a possible source of infection

Ancient ritual to sustain other's lives
Generosity of the deceased...

Harsh lands leave no option for interment or cremation
Traditional practice claiming man's intrepidity
Pale limbs chopped up with an axe
Enabling creatures to swiftly consume
Loved ones are adviced to leave this morbid scene
Skin, flesh, tendons, feet, genitals
Liver, heart, spleen and intestines...
Primitive deconstruction of the human anatomy

Skin, flesh, tendons, feet, genitals
Liver, heart, spleen and intestines...
Primitive deconstruction of the human anatomy

Ripping frenzy interrupted
Bones mashed into pulp for consumption
Skull split open to make brain accessible
Nothing is wasted...
Transference... of vitality...

Empty shell have vanished from the sacred grounds
A return to idyll
Pungent odours gone
Scavengers are full

Skeletal remains
Reduced to nothing
Transference of vitality
An act of good karma
