LYRIC KEY - Sam (screamed) = italics , Sam (growled) = bold, Nichole = red

The song begins with two melodic guitars playing mournful notes, fading in as if from a distance. The guitars gradually get louder until a cymbal hit introduces the rest of the band, the bass rumbling beneath the guitar lines as fast tom rolls are played on the drums. This continues for about a minute or so before the song breaks into death metal territory. The guitars play fast, melodeath styled tremolo picking, and the drums play blisteringly fast blast beats. The bass holds down the heavy end, and then the vocals come in, Sam using a higher pitched scream, mixed with growls,

in the dark walls of the charnel
my obsession with her begins to overflow
as i consume, i savour the decay
caress her corpse, a celibate death i took away

this is my salvation
no gods, no mediation
this is my redemption
drowning in my contempt, and

The song takes a brief instrumental interlude, the instruments slowing down a bit as Neil take's a short drum solo, before returning to the full blast annihilation from before,

i return to myself as i taste her skin
take the handle of the blade, push it deeper in
stretch the wound, penetrate to soothe my sin
my lust for her will never stop
i return to myself as i taste her skin
feeling the grip of her innards, pushing deeper in
stretch the wound, penetrated so deep within
my lust for her will never stop

The guitar changes to playing almost bright sounding chords as the drums keep the beat going with fast double bass. Amongst all the chaos, Nichole's voice comes in, sounding a bit distant, sedated, and desperate,

is this your love that i feel
pressing against my face my dear?
is your presence within me?
i left so cold and emptily

The instruments get faster and heavier until they're back to the fast melodeath part again,

in the dark walls of the mortuary
my obsession with her will overflow
as i exhumed, i tasted her decay
i touch her form, a celibate death i take away

The guitars slow down to a bit as Sam's vocals become even angrier as he spits them back at Nichole,

this is my coldness that you feel
pressing against your face my dear
my presence is not within you
but your corpse is delicate to me

The instruments all slow to a plod, almost fading out. It seems like the song is over, but then suddenly the guitars come back in, playing a fast, chugging riff as the lyrics are belted out in time with them,

within the dark walls of the charnel
my obsession with her will overflow
and i exhume, effluvium decayed
caress her skin, so paper like it flakes away

The guitars and drums become more frantic and fast, Sam's last screams echoing into the darkness,

my dark walls

Before all instruments drop out but one guitar, playing a mournful, echoed arpeggio, as Nichole's voice comes back into the mix, soft and morose,

is this the light?
that i feel pressing against my face my dear?
is his presence within me?
your love left me emptily...
