Guest appearances through various Six Feet Under albums include Ice-T on True Carnage's "One Bullet Left" and Karyn Crisis of Crisis fame on the True Carnage song "Sick and Twisted." Many consider this the first death metal duet between a male and female.
World-renowned tattoo artist Paul Booth is known to do most of Six Feet Under's album art.

Six Feet Under Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My terror will explode soon
This horror that is now true
This black prophecy of doom
I'm never gonna to let them kill us
I'm never gonna to give fighting
I'm never gonna give in and listen
Prophecy, of endless pain and suffering
The prophecy of endless suffering
Never gonna let them kill us
Never gonna give up fighting
Never gonna give in and listen
I'm never gonna to let them take it
You think it's all about you but
My terror will explode soon
This horror that is now true
This black prophecy of doom
I'm never gonna let them kill us
I'm never gonna give up fighting
I'm never gonna give in and listen
I'm never gonna let them take it
Prophecy, of endless pain and suffering
The prophecy of endless suffering
Never gonna let them kill us
Never gonna give up fighting
Never gonna give in and listen

Prophecy
is a song that addresses the topic of personal strength and determination in the face of adversity. The lyrics suggest that there is a sense of terror that is looming, but the singer is not going to allow it to defeat them. The line "you think it's all about you but my terror will explode soon" suggests that there is a separation between the individual and the potential source of fear or harm. This could be a person or situation that is challenging the singer's sense of security and control.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is never going to allow themselves to be defeated. They will continue to fight and resist any attempts to subdue them. The prophecy of endless pain and suffering is a foreboding statement that may be interpreted as a warning to those who would try to harm or oppress the singer. At the same time, it is a message of strength and resilience, a declaration that the singer will emerge victorious from any hardship or struggle.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it is a call to action for anyone who has faced or is currently facing adversity. It is a reminder that there is strength within us that we can tap into, even when everything else around us seems to be crumbling. The prophetic element adds a sense of urgency to this message, as if the singer is warning us of something that is lurking just beyond our awareness.
