Neoandertals - Defleshing The Cadaver Before Burial lyrics

Two mysteries of creation -- life and d**h Their dead were buried, fearing their resurrection The placement of heavy stone slabs upon their graves seen as impeding their dead from returning Neanderthal corpses, tightly flexed, tied with thongs Interring their dead, performing burial rituals The defleshing of the body -- a symbolic act -- preventing its spirit from haunting them Removing flesh to silence the destructive will of nature Removing flesh to see d**h making its way into the carca** Removing flesh... Flesh, doomful like a rapid ghastly river Cheek muscles from children were filleted out Tendons were sliced and skulls were cracked to remove brains Flaying will silence the vile enemy in the form of the Neanderthal ghost Allaying the dead spirits, who possess destructive powers to the continent (For thousands of years or more, the shell will see its ghostly owner nevermore) (Series of rituals, praising the individual) Buried together, entire kin groups remained united after d**h Believed in an afterlife, a vision beyond d**h in their pre-abstract minds Artifacts and fauna Guaranteed health in the spirit world... Defleshing The Cadaver Before Burial, to protect the living from the undead d**h itself, regarded as a kind of sleep Corpses arranged in sleeplike positions d**h had become something more than a mere brutish fact of nature Leave the rotten meat witnessing the rebirth of an epoch
