Lyrics
After the fire, their bodies at rest,
After death, their bodies are now at peace.
Beyond mere blood, beyond mere breath:
Beyond just blood and breath, their essence or existence transcends.
Their terror summons the vapours of fright,
Their fear calls forth intense emotions or atmospheres of terror.
A mating call to the things of the night
This fear acts as a summoning signal for creatures of the night.
The things they'll become after they die
Describes the transformation or state they will assume after death.
Have called to us before their time;
They've reached out to the living before their time of death.
The Dark Horse of dreams has brought them here
A symbolic representation of darker dreams or nightmares.
To this you're-Place that feeds on fear
Refers to a place where fear is the sustaining force.
Where the only light comes from their bones
In this place, only the remnants of their bodies emit light.
That glow, now: all their flesh is gone
Their bodies are now reduced to bones that radiate light.
(A) Voice between rivers
There's a voice that speaks between opposing forces, likely representing a profound truth.
Sings (the) truth that destroys
This truth has the power to dismantle or obliterate.
Then it laughs like a dog
After revealing the truth, it expresses amusement or mockery.
(The) Voice between worlds
Similar to line 13, a voice exists between different realities.
Has existence to void
It has its being in the absence or emptiness.
And it dwells in their bones
It resides within the remains or essence of those who've died.
That which was drawn in sand for me
Something significant or meaningful that was symbolically drawn in the sand.
By the Man of Blood,
A figure referred to as the "Man of Blood" created this symbol.
Whose hand never ends,
Symbolizes an eternal presence or influence.
Heralds all mortality
Symbolizes the announcement or indication of the inevitability of death.
And He-Who-Waits-Beneath-The-Scream
Refers to a figure known as "He-Who-Waits-Beneath-The-Scream."
Oh, to be possessed of Carrionshine,
Desires to possess the brilliance or radiance of the dead.
To dream past the limits of carcasskind
Yearns to dream beyond the limitations of mortal remains.
The Prayer goes: Unite to thee thy bones-
A prayer or invocation to unite and complete oneself with what belongs to them.
What appertains to thee is complete
A statement signifying the attainment of completeness or fulfillment.
