On the night of your death
We give breath
At the gates to the depths
You'll find no rest
But surely expect
Life in death's aftermath
Life in death's aftermath
Dearly departed
We hold this ritual
Forth do we send you home
Stand before set
Never to be blessed
Destined to voices of the wind
In this purifying bath
Do we cleanse the past
Only here do we unmask the precious path
Where we guide you, guide you at last
Dearly departed
We hold this ritual
Forth do we send you home
Stand before set
Never to be blessed
Destined to voices of the wind
One by one
Till our deed is done
We'll take piece by piece
Of the mortal son
One by one
We'll take piece by piece
Of the mortal son
The new journey has begun
At the set of the new sun
Before false eyes gaze
Here we lay, at your next step
This that will, will protect
Spells that seek, spells that seek to eject
Seek to eject
Lord eternal spare me
We hold this ritual
Forth do we send you home
