lyrics

I must be gone
There is a grave
where the lilies and daffodils wave

Please do not stand
at my grave and weep
 I am not there nor do I sleep

It’s you it’s you it’s all for you
Everything I do is for your life
It’s you for you it’s all for you
Please do not stand at my grave and cry

I am the one
wind that blows I am the diamond glints upon the snow
 ’Tis I the sun
 On ripened grain 
And now it comes, the gentle Autumn rain
 When you awake in the morning hush
 I am the swift uplifting rush of flight 
See the soft stars shine at night 
Please do not stand at my grave and cry
 I am not there 
I did not die
My Spirit is still alive

Smash my heart three-person’d god
That I may rise and bend your force to make me new
Dearly how I love you all, and how I beg requite
But I’m betrothed unto your enemy

Divorce me, untie me, and break me, you’ve locked me in chains
A sudden blow, wings beating still, I feel your heart pounding on me
Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died
I must be gone, you can’t see me,
but please don’t stand at my grave and cry

Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died

Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world. This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms. zaphexa

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
