The grave digger takes mensures with a hazel rod
And the witch sneaking nearby with sticky claws
For the water from the corpse is soaked with malicious powers
And the hazel rod can command the dead at the witch's desires
For these days the holy prayers may not be halted
by the coffin's side taking turns is the family of the departed
Fear is great from the return of the dead...
Close belongings in the casket are laid
And to seal the soul some mugwort they add
This herb connected to the underworld powers
Used after the funeral to cleanse the house
On charcoals as incense with some clothes from the dead
Nine circles around the house have been made
More gifts for the journey are tied inside a knut
Coins, food and salt mustn't be forgot
After the coffin is seal with hammer and nails
The house is filled with women's grievous wails
... carried out of the house
On the doorstep knock with the coffin thrice
So the soul can say goodbye to its old home
Forget and never return from the other world
Many days it happended, especially in the days of old
That the body buried in the grave was not yet cold
Some mugwort they add
To the underworld powers
Tocleanse the house
Some clothes from the dead
have to be made
More gifts
are tied inside a knot
mustn't be forgot
is seal with hammer and nails
The house is filled with women's grievous wails
... carried out of the house
On the doorstep knock with the coffin thrice
So the soul can say goodbye to its old home
Forget and never return from the other world
Many days it happended, especially in the days of old
That the body buried in the grave was not yet cold

Madagascar - Famadihana
05:51

Lifeless body of the dead
was taken from the crypt
So the soul would
walk the earth together
with the kin
Malagasy hands
are holding a corpse
wrapped in silk shrouds
peoples is more and more
The sun has fell
and the darkness is coming
When the dead are on the run
music starts the play
this is our life
This is our way
respecting the dead
Famadihana
Turning of the bones
Famadihana
Beneath the setting sun
Famadihana
The dance with the corpse
Famadihana
Let dead spirits come
Decomposed corpse dances,
dressed in rotten cloth
Held by black hands of the living
And the spirit comes forth!
All families of deceased blind
Drinks and rejoice
Terrific again starts
This is Famadihana
Famadihana

Mexico - Chichén Itzá
06:43

In the name of Kukulchán Rituals in
Chichén Itzá
Nights and days of hungry dead 50,000
corpses, sacrified and bled
Crowds staring in ecstasy, towards the
burning Sun
When servants of Kukulchán
Slaughter thousands like one

In inhospitable lands of god
forsaken Bohemia
Where cruel winters reign
and owls fly
When frozen ground cannot swallow
the one who died
Dead on Totenbretter stare
beyond the flickering stars
Faded and cracked wood drained by
freezing winds
In forests of Šumava, so silent and
grim
Symbols of Death, proudly on the wood
Where dead bodies remain, silently
waiting for the spring
In the valley of Úhlava and in its
neighborhood
Farmers follow the tradition for their
ancestor's greater good
When in the spring the dead find
their peace in the ground
Totenbretter everywhere by the road
shall be found
These boards also memories
of families
telling tales of men who silently
rest in peace
And in the valley of Úhlava and in
its neighborhood
Farmers follow the tradition for the
greater good

China - Hanging Coffins
06:50
|
|||
|
High up on cliffs
Neither beast nor men
In wooden caskets...
And horrid putrid
Death domains
could interfere
Rotten remains
stench sows and fear...
Fear in the hearts
of those who cannot see
That in Death All
shall dwell in peace
In the hanging coffins..
In Indonesia, China...
And in Philippines
Ancient funeral custom of blood
In hanging coffins dwelling travellers
to the realm of the Holy Silent God
Like astronauts flying
through the endless void
Surrounded by silence
Dressed in gloom
On endless voyage
into the realm of doom
Beyond chaos, beyond pain
Through afinity
in endless peace...
In a hanging coffin
on a cliff
they will
eternally remain
One peace of wood
One lost life
Hanging coffins in China
Mountains of endless funerals

Cathartic Black Rituals
by Nocturnal Departure
supported by 5 fans who also own “SKY006_Death Karma - The History of Death & Burial Rituals Part I.”
Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy? Yes. p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro.
