Violent Death Rituals - Thanatos

Violent death rituals, disturbing ways to die

Violent death rituals, unholy sacrifice

Violent death rituals, defiling the deceased

Violent death rituals, so they can rest in peace

Endo-cannibalism, feasting on the dead

I express my eternal love, by ripping you to shreds

A permanent connection, between the living and the dead

A cathartic acceptation, of death’s tragic aftermath

At the funeral of the Viking chieftain, the widow paid the price

Raped by many men, stabbed, strangled, left to die

The bodies of man and wife, on a wooden ship set alight

So she could serve her master, in eternal afterlife

Violent death rituals, to enter afterlife

Violent death rituals, unholy sacrifice

Your body’s just a vessel, you leave it when you die, your corpse sustains the

life

When your fate is sealed, your body is a meal, for the vulture in the sky

Ritual dissection, a Tibetan tradition, prepare for your sky burial

Summoning the spirits, by tearing you apart, a 'dignified' ritual

Victimized by Sharia laws, whipped or stoned to death

Hung for blasphemy, crucified for theft

Thrown headfirst from a building for deviant sexuality

Raped, yet sentenced for adultery, welcome to the 21st century
