Desecration Remains
Burial Invocation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

moans of torture, atrociously impaled
the leak of rancid vomit,ascension with decay
the ones enlightened are the ones that are put to graves
when mortal holiness is desecrated with death

the foul breed caused from life depraved
disgust beneath the soil of flesh
entombed in unholy, putrid remains
the corpses will crawl out from their tombs





souls crave with the lust for death
the salvation with profanity shall forever embed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Desecration Remains" by Burial Invocation depict a scene of utter horror and disgust. The first two lines describe a terrifying image of torture and bodily waste. The use of the word "moans" implies that this scene involves victims who are still alive and suffering. The phrase "ascension with decay" creates a contradictory image of something rising up while simultaneously decaying, perhaps indicating that even in death the suffering continues. The third line suggests that those who are enlightened, perhaps spiritually or morally superior, are the ones who are unjustly put to death and buried. The final line offers a chilling commentary on the desecration of human life through violent means.


The rest of the lyrics continue in this same vein of grotesque imagery and themes of death and decay. The second verse describes a "foul breed" that arises from the decay of corpses, indicating perhaps the spread of disease or the creation of monsters from the dead. The phrase "entombed in unholy, putrid remains" continues this theme and creates a sense of despair and hopelessness. The final lines suggest a kind of perverse desire for death and corruption, as if the only salvation is in joining the dead.


Overall, the lyrics to "Desecration Remains" are deeply unsettling and evoke a sense of dread and horror. The use of vivid and grotesque imagery creates a vivid depiction of death, decay, and corruption.
