Circular incision with a sharp knife through the forehead, temples, and occiput penetrating to the skull
Cut through with a saw remove the brain with your hands
Cut away each ear very close to the temporal bone
Free the lower maxilla from its connections with the bones of head and cut the cartilages
Like a butcher, pull out everything contained in the peritoneum
Cut the skin of the abdomen and the muscles away from the bones, catching the blood with sponges. Split the ribcage.
Lift the pectoral bone away from the throat and free it from the veins and arteries going to it
Excise the lungs with the heart and the diaphragm
divide the base of the heart transversely remove the base from the vessels that go out from it to keep the orifices undamaged
Turn over the cadaver, carve out the muscles and cartilage from the arms and the legs
Detach the pelvic bones. Scrape remaining skin with a sharp knife
Place the bones in a large cauldron, submerged completely. Boil until cleansed.
The bones of children take longer to cook
A more efficient method of preserving the bones of man
Upon my death I crave for such a fitting end
Use my skin to bind this script preserve my remains
A fitting end

Descent Into Suffering
05:37
|
|||
Holy whore mother of god tainted by the light above
Fly with me down to hell see the suffering you’ve instilled
Cherabim, Seraphim guide your way
Trapped in darkness | forever blind | they could not see | the light of god
They worshiped the sun, the moon
The beasts, reptiles, | earth and water | old gods they praised | now torment them
Corrupted into demons
A shroud of black | surrounds their world | those who denied | their master’s call
Rejected your wretched son
Now- Angels carry you to the south
Feel- Searing pain of damnation
Tread- River of flames where sinners stand
Burn- for deeds you claim unworthy
Four hundred angels guide your way
Those who were cursed by their progenitors
Those who riled in lechery
Those who consumed human flesh
Those who swore falsely on the cross
A man is hung by his heel
Devoured by worms evermore
A woman suspended by one tooth
Serpents writhe out of her gaping mouth
Onward we fly to the north
Sinners that lay immobilized
A cloud of ash engulfs their lungs
They lied and spread dissent in life
Sinister tree | atop a hill | dark jagged cliffs | fire beneath
Composed of solid iron
Iron branches | with iron thorns | dishonest thieves | and murderers
Hang impaled in agony
Now to the east | they carry you | those forsaken | now pay their due
Witness Hell’s greatest torments
Darkness perpetual spreads along ashen shores
Hung up by their fingernails women scream in pain
Those who were unfaithful disregarded all but themselves
Flames erupt from their mouths serpents torment all who try to speak their mind
Two rivers running parallel vast and vile they twist your sight
One has raging boiling waves ridden by worms
Asphyxiate eternally drowning in the depths of madness
The other waves of burning pitch crashing down upon the crucifiers of your false proclaimer dying to be worshiped
Plea- to your god for mercy
Kneel- look him in the eyes
Dread- as you are cast down
To suffer
In torment
Forever
Amongst all
His sinners
God’s vengeance
Is merciless

Ingvar's Lament
04:03
|
|||
O my brethren and warriors
O my treasured lives
How could you close your eyes
and leave me here in such misfortune
How could you disappear from my sight,
Treasures of my life
O my beautiful flowers
O my unripened vineyards
Why wont’ you speak to me, your brother
Never again will you make my life sweet
Why wont you talk with me
Why wont you look at me
How could you, fruitful gardens
Born of the same father
and from the same womb of great princess Agrippina
and fed by the same breast, forget me
For whom have you forsaken me
You did fade too early eastern stars.
You set so early my dear suns
You lie on this deserted land watched over by no one
No one renders your honor
Indeed, your days of glory have dimmed
Where is your power
You who used to be rulers of many lands
Now lie on this barren earth
and your faces darken with decay
O my dear brothers
O my dear warriors
Never again shall we share joys
O my bright lights
Why were you extinguished
I have not had enough joy with you
If god hears your prayers
Pray that i your brother might join you
After days of joy have come those of tears and sorrow
After pleasures and happiness
Have come lamenting and mourning
O, why did I not die before you
So that I would not have had to see your deaths
This is my bitter fate
Do you hear my unhappy words that fall so sadly
O mother earth
O forest of oak, lament with me
And how shall I describe these days
In which perished
So many rulers and warriors
So many brave and dashing heroes of Riazan
None returned
My tongue does not obey me
My lips close
But all drank the same bitter cup to the dregs
My sight darkens
My strength ebbs
For great is the sorrow of my soul

Twelve Gates of Night
05:54
|
|||
Words of power painted on the walls of this tomb I lie in
Awaiting the end of my final day in this plane of existence
I have learned the proper incantations
I awake in a golden flash
I am reborn as the lord of creation and time
Driving the boat of the sun as it sails the cosmic stream
I must pass through the twelve gates
Entrance of the Tuat lies ahead
Twin mountains of life and death
I pass through in the form of a beetle
Open the door to the abode of darkness
Towed by gods I am a man with a ram’s head
Serpent upon its tail standing mouth wide eyes glaring
The righteous on one side exalted blasphemers on other
Bound in chains their souls shall be hacked into pieces
Their existence shall be erased
Ahead stand two serpents their streams of flame ignite my path
I pass through the boat of the earth
Bearing those who are within
Twelve shrines before me containing the embalmed
Arms outstretched reaching out for their lord of plenty
Twelve figures stand within a boiling lake
The guardians of the green herb
Repulse Apep lords of destinies
Hours of night keep me on my shining path
Urei whose voices destroy shadow keepers of the flame
Osiris your worshippers cry out from their fetid shrines
Horus perform your magic ceremonies smite my enemies

Tower of Silence
06:54

Soon I shall meet my end drift away from this world
Demons of death await to possess my corpse
So I must tell you now perform the sacred rights
Follow the ways of old allow my soul to rise
Lay me down on the slab in my home pray for days
Summon the Nasular carry me
To the dakhma
Heed the skies for any threat of rain should there be
Delay the journey
Never retrace your steps procession to the mountains
Tower stands high above the world far from
Earth and fire
Three rings separate its peak the outermost
is reserved for men
Middle ring is for women the outermost
for the bodies of children
Strip my corpse pull entrails out leave me bare to bake in the sun
Vultures descend from the sky consume
My rotting flesh
Through death I shall sustain life reconnect
To my maker
Decompose for a year’s time they must return
To push me into the pit
Soon I shall meet my end drift away from this world
Leave earthly possessions behind for all are equal in death
Incense and and juniper burn as you cleanse yourselves
And chant the mantra
Oh Mazda Oh righteous one
Guide me through the two worlds
Let me join unburning flame
Reveal to me the true path
Banish thee
Fiend of the brood
fiend of the body
fiend of the world
