After the fire, their bodies at rest
Beyond mere blood, beyond mere breath
Their terror summons the vapours of fright
A mating call to things of the night
The things they'll become after they die
Have called to us before their time
The dark horse of dreams has brought them here
To this your place that feeds on fear
Where the only light comes from their bones
That glow, now all their flesh is gone
A voice between rivers sings the truth that destroys
Then it laughs like a dog
The voice between worlds has existence to void
And it dwells in their bones
That which was drawn in sand for me
By the man of blood
Whose hand never ends
Heralds all mortality
And he who waits beneath the-scream
Oh, to be possessed of carrionshine
To dream past the limits of carcasskind
The prayer goes
Unite to thee thy bones
What appertains to thee is complete
