Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus : Vulgar Necrolatry
 

Amorphis



The Karelian Isthmus



Vulgar Necrolatry





Erosion of life I see



it makes the passion burn in me



Life it always withers away



Death will eternally stay







Corpses in their coffins



forever rest in peace ?



There sleeping with the aspergillus



is this justice to the dead ?







The atrocious sight of burial ecremony



Christians weeping for the departed



They won't understand, they should envy them !







The deceased they know, if there's a paradise



Or shall we feel, the purgatory !



I open the graves, admire the rot



I can feel the presence, of something beyond







Aureola of nauseating reek



Wings of shriveled skin



Holy beauty of a carcass



Divine sight for me to gaze upon !







Necrolatic ! Reverence for putrefaction



Necrolatic ! reverence for the stench







I kneel, before a carrion



I pray, before the dead



I know, they shall rise



I fear, for the scourge



I revere, power of the dead
