Nile - The Inevitable Degradation of Flesh lyrics
[Nile - The Inevitable Degradation of Flesh lyrics]
I have come to you that
You may heal my corpse
Permit me to go down into the earth forever
Such as He who will not be ravaged
May I not become corrupt
May my Ka ascend aloft
May it descend only after it has perished
Such is he who is decayed
All his bones are corrupt
His flesh is slain, his bones are softened
His body is made into foul water
His degradation stinks and he
Turns into many worms
When he is sent to the eye of Shu
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Those who die will rot
Do not give me over to
The slayer who lurks inside
Who rots the Hidden One
Who decomposes corpses
Who does what has been commanded
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Those who die will rot
I have awakened in perversion and dream
I possess not my body
I have become corrupt, decayed, putrid
Worms gorge upon me maggots Infest my organs
Vermin gnaw my skull my eyes have been eaten
My ears are deaf
Rotten flesh falls from my bones
My head has removed it'self from my neck
My tongue taken away
My hair has been cut off
My eyebrows stripped
I have become what I abhor
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Those who die will rot
You may heal my corpse
Permit me to go down into the earth forever
Such as He who will not be ravaged
May I not become corrupt
May my Ka ascend aloft
May it descend only after it has perished
Such is he who is decayed
All his bones are corrupt
His flesh is slain, his bones are softened
His body is made into foul water
His degradation stinks and he
Turns into many worms
When he is sent to the eye of Shu
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Those who die will rot
Do not give me over to
The slayer who lurks inside
Who rots the Hidden One
Who decomposes corpses
Who does what has been commanded
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Those who die will rot
I have awakened in perversion and dream
I possess not my body
I have become corrupt, decayed, putrid
Worms gorge upon me maggots Infest my organs
Vermin gnaw my skull my eyes have been eaten
My ears are deaf
Rotten flesh falls from my bones
My head has removed it'self from my neck
My tongue taken away
My hair has been cut off
My eyebrows stripped
I have become what I abhor
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
Those who die will rot
