Cult of Dying
Embrace the Cult of Transformation: A Journey Through Life and Death
Lyrics
Step inside
Invitation to enter or participate
Join this lifeless congregation
Join the emotionless assembly
And complete your transformation
Undergo a profound change
It is a cult of life and so a cult of dying
Emphasizes the paradoxical nature of the cult, focusing on both life and death
For what is life but dying one day at the time?
Reflection on the inevitability of death in the course of life
Inside this temple
Reference to a sacred place
I escape the sorrow filled world
Escaping the troubles of the world
In this sanctum
A holy place
Far away from needs absurd
Avoiding unnecessary desires
I rejoice in silence
Finding joy in stillness
Stone walls sing quietly
Symbolic singing of inanimate objects
Empty chants embrace me
Chants that lack substance or meaning
The tunes sound sweetly
Pleasant sounds of the chants
Break the shackles, enter freedom
Breaking free and embracing liberation
Blind me no more, light
Rejecting blindness and embracing light
In the cult that worships dying
Devotion to a cult centered around the acceptance of death
Sacrifices are thrown into the void
Sacrifices made without purpose
Break the bonds, end the wanting
Ending desires and breaking free from constraints
Take me down to this cell
Willingness to descend into a confined space
I shall crave no more
Renouncing cravings
No more as life passes by
Acceptance of the passing of life
Dim the light
Reducing illumination
Let me lie
Desire to rest
Leave me here behind
Wishing to be left alone
In my mind
Inner contemplation
Now
Immediate emphasis on the present
The curtain falls
The end of a significant phase or event
Before my eyes
A dramatic scene unfolding
The angels fall
Symbolic imagery of celestial beings losing their grace
And spectres are shining white
The departed now appear radiant
Now I´m free at last
Freedom achieved after a transformative event
And spirits call my name
A call from the afterlife
Let yourself go
Encouragement to release control
Let yourself lie
Encouragement to surrender
In the cell I feel no fear
Fearlessness in confinement
Cause I do not feel the feelings I once did
Emotional numbness in isolation
And I see my hands before me
A visual perception of self-change
Are fading bit by bit
The gradual dissolution of self
These entities surround me
Mysterious entities surrounding the individual
The ectoplasm disperses on my skin
Ectoplasmic transformation of the self
And they still call my name
Persistent calling from otherworldly beings
Oh, I hear them call my name
Recognition and acknowledgment of the call
Dim the light
Repetition of the desire for reduced light and rest
Let me lie
Reiteration of the plea for repose
Leave me
A final plea for departure
All the masks fall off you now
A revelation of true identity
All the walls fall to the ground
The collapse of personal defenses
Dying
A stark acknowledgment of the inevitability of death
