Song: Mourners Will Burn / Through the Cracks of Death
Band: Abscess
Album: Through the Cracks of Death
Year: 2002
Lyrics:
Blast your life to hell
And watch it turn upon a spit
See the shadows of your allies
Crumble into shit
Rape yourself and torture skies
Of bloody seething red
Scream a ritual of power
Walk among the dead
[Chorus:]
Find your truth do not escape
Storm your path until the grave
Life and death are no concern
Leave the mourners behind to burn
The powers of the universe
Can twist you into grime
The acrid fumes of living
Turn the stringy into slime
The wielder of the molten
Flows between the left and right
The bending into tragic might
[Chorus]
As fiends and lovers
Graze your flesh with sleeping tongues
You must resist their poisons
Fight until you're won
As long as you have pumping blood
That's yet to bleed
The weepers fall onto the ground
On them you feed!
[solo - Coralles]
[solo - Bower]
[Chorus]

Through the Cracks of Death:
I woke up in the black of night
And went for a dead sleep walk outside
Out to the place where thru withered trees sighed
Acrid winds blowing through my mind
I stopped short at a hole in the ground
And looked into its shadowy depths
I saw a corpse lying in it's floor
It looked like me in the maggoty webs
I called to myself "come in crawl out"
I screamed from the grave "come in crawl out"
[solo - Coralles]
And in that fleeting moment
A rip cracked the universe
Dawn and dusk they fucked
And life and death became one
I reached out and my fingertips touched
And I lived and died an a glimpse of insanity
And I went back to bed
As my corpse turned over once more!
[solo - Bower]
