Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I slept amongst the dead
Ate the flesh of dogs and black leavened bread
I pronounce the three unclean names carved in bone
To consult this mantic head
Sorcery as a divinatory tool, to find that stone all philosophers seek
A black shadow ascends
Possessing its vessel and so the skull begins to speak
Conjuration
Craniomancy
Divination
Skull necromancy
It keeps me from sleep in the middle of the night
Its weary grave voice mutters, wails and sings
Moaning, whining, whispering, teeth-grinding
Preaching evil and the pleasure it brings
Into the occult
My breakthrough
Dippel's oil
Prussian blue
Alchemy
Grave robbery
Soul transference
Necromancy
Consulting the skull night after night
From the rising moon 'till the morning turns bright
Tell me how to lift the veil separating
Life from death so I can steal the holy grail
Skull with a forked tongue
Skull with a forked tongue
The flesh of hyenas that have fed on the dead
The foam from the muzzles of rabid dogs
Uncommon herbs, bone powder and the skin of snakes
Distilled in a mixture of oil and human blood
Elixer vitae
Into the occult
My breakthrough
Dippel's oil
Prussian blue
Alchemy
Grave robbery
Soul transference
Necromancy
Formulated step by step I've created the elixir of life
My spirit now scarred and mangled
A price paid with my own demise
My flesh rots away, I ask myself why
For I shall live forever, yet all I want is to die
Forever in decay, my flesh rots away
