[Lyrics: Araya, King; Music: Hanneman]
Body that rests before me,
With every dying breath,
Spellbound and gagged,
I commence your flesh to dirt.
Body that lay before me,
In everlasting d**h.
Entombed in abscess,
To rot and lie stinking in the earth.
[LEAD: KING]
Empty altar awaits its victim
Stained gla** windows black.
Candles burn the midnight oil,
Incense fills the night.
Observing trance awaking state
Lying still unknowing.
Reciting the pa**ages of time
Prepare for the impaling.
[LEAD: HANNEMAN]
d**h's an art, flesh and earth never part,
A power of the mind.
d**h shines on the air of silence,
A ritual of endless time.
Purged of your dead body,
Sacrificed of your life.
Unearthly ritual sealed in fire
Enter the kingdom of desire.
[LEAD: KING]
