Ancestors Call

from Sacrifice, Perish & Demise by Exordium Mors

lyrics

"mortua heic ego sum et sum cinis, is cinis terrast:
sein est terra dea, ego sum dea, mortua non sum"

Ashes to ashes, I shall fall
Dust to dust, please heed my call

I venerate you... oh ancient ones
Whom cannot see... Helios' golden sun
Veni, vidi, vici... scarred onto my soul
Your legacy eternal... exhumed from your earthy hole

With your life permanently halfway in the gutter you bet it's true
With vengeful, vacant, glassy eyes, Death is eternally watching you

Milk and blood... daily I shall sacrifice
Rotting... wraiths shall feast in delight
Libitina's claws... hound our every turn
In honour... I cast animal flesh to burn

I beseech you all to hear the truth or you'll live your life as a slave
Heed your Ancestors' Call as soon you will be joining them in the grave

Ashes to ashes, I shall fall
Dust to dust, please heed my call

(Your) Last breath, my breath as we gaze unto eternity
My death, your death as the ancestral line beckons thee
Their legacy, my leprosy and death the final victory
Their death, my breath as I succumb to infinity

With open arms, I embrace the Cthonic
(As father to a child)

Once life is breathed onto you...
Death ruthlessly pursues

Envious, the unborn are watching you...
Their hatred shall never subdue

As darkness suffocates your view...
Only Hades shall await you

The ancestors beckon to greet you...
Heed their call and torment will not ensue

"From my rotting body
Flowers shall grow
And I am in them
And that is eternity"

So believe me now, the hymn is true
When you're six feet down, blackened and blue
Or if your remains are cast among the seas
Or your ashes are left floating in the breeze
Remember this tale, before you fall
And heed the Ancestors Call
