Powerful doom with lots of spoken and chanted parts. Also features a flute.
Death-doom metal. Crushing growled vocals, harsh guitars, mournful and foreboding melodies.
Story behind the song
This song is about crawling nearly dead across a desert while vultures circle above, and the willpower involved in survival.
Lyrics
Let us feed... we desire thee
Let us feed... we admire thee
We have seen... you struggling for miles
We have seen... pain in your every movement
Let us feed... your suffering can end
Let us feed... we hate to see your agony
Let this be... your final resting place
Let this be... your peaceful epilogue
Aloft on filthy black wings, the eaters of rotten flesh
Aloft, in slow, wide circles, watching me as I crawl
Aloft, I am not dead yet, every inch keeps the birds at bay
Must keep moving
The carrion birds are circling
Must keep moving (I am not dead yet)
The carrion birds are circling (let us feed...)
Must keep moving (on filthy black wings)
The carrion birds are circling (let us feed...)
Must keep moving (they swoop and spiral)
The carrion birds are circling (let us feed...)
Must keep moving (their blank eyes watch me)
The carrion birds are circling (let us feed...)
Must keep moving (they land in dust clouds)
The carrion birds are here (let us feed...)
Come and face me, lowliest raptor
Have you the will to survive as I have?
For I am not yet dead, nor will I surrender
To one so unworthy of my flesh
So come and feast
Only if you have
The strength to take
What is mine
Let us feed
Life must continue
Let us feed
Life must continue...
