Story behind the song
This one took several months to write. The first few bars were written way back in July, but after that I was sort of stuck until recently.
Lyrics
See you transform before my ever-watching eye Life to death Profane to sacred Mortal to immortal No decay No decay Purify Purity of form for all time Your new godlike mold This exquisite corpse (What choice do you have? To wither into nothingness, alone and forgotten, or to outlast the ages? To reach what lies beyond, you must pass through life.) (One day you will hang beside the screaming dead, and on that day you will achieve perfection in parched skin and dry bone. You will achieve immortality) (All the beauty of a man's life fades with his dying breath; the only undying beauty is death.)
