Remnants of the Tortured
Abominable Putridity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I awake to the black
Unbleached detecting cells
Regenerate no adapting to the
Darkness I must sleep
I can hear sounds of
The tools metal on metal
Testing for a proper incision
The smell of a hospital
Lingers in the air
A foreign tongue a language
I do not know but I
Can hear the laughter
Bound in this chair my
Last memories are close

Remnants of torture
Remnants of torture

When will I wake consciousness
Of lucid dreaming I can feel the
Metal as my mouth fills with blood
When will I wake
When will I wake consciousness
Of lucid dreaming I can feel the
Metal as my mouth fills with blood
When will I wake

Above my carrion I peer down
Below to knowing now I am gone
A victim of the sick
I hed to the afterlife for retribution
Above my carrion I peer down
Below to knowing now I am gone
A victim of the sick
I hed to the afterlife for retribution

Remnants of the tortured I sleep
Remnants of the torture a permanent dream
Remnants of the tortured I sleep
Remnants of the torture a permanent dream

Pain while dreaming - now i see again
To unmask this execution from
The nether realm
Pain while dreaming - now i see again
To unmask this execution from
The nether realm

Putrefaction denied my soul no sleep
Purgatory I lye waiting to ruin




Putrefaction denied my soul no sleep
Purgatory I lye waiting to ruin

Here's a tip for people trying to enjoy this genre: don't focus on the vocals. Popular music is usually all about the vocals. But in this kinda genre, the vocals are just an instrument like anything else, so let it blend in with the rest of the sounds just like everything else. It's meant to compliment, not take center stage.

@mcspooky770

@tgartheteddybear
