After releasing two demos they were signed to underground label This City Is Burning Records and released their debut album Dead In My Arms on July 12, 2007.

Adornment Of The Sickened
Carnifex Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
An inhuman perversion from on mistake.
Degeneration.
Complete removal of the heart.
Adornment of the sickened.
This is the crowning of the undead.
Now I watched in embittered sorrow.
And dream of her in death, dream of her in death.
The precious passing of a beautiful face.
The death of a beautiful person is a tragic thing.
An inhuman perversion from on mistake.
A mistake can lead to a monstrous act.
Degeneration.
Deterioration and decay are inevitable.
Complete removal of the heart.
Removing emotions and compassion leads to a cruel and heartless state.
Adornment of the sickened.
An embellishment of something that is already corrupted and diseased.
This is the crowning of the undead.
Celebrating the final transformation into an unfeeling and lifeless being.
Now I watched in embittered sorrow.
Feeling bitter and resentful while witnessing a tragic event.
And dream of her in death, dream of her in death.
Obsessing over death and imagining a deceased loved one.
On my own back, turned from the light.
Alone and having turned away from goodness and morality.
