Song lyrics
[1. Sarcophagi]

The ocean floor is hidden
From the viewing lens
A depth perception
Languished in the night
All my life I’ve been sewing the wounds
But the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud

[2. Umbilical Syllables]

Niño preparate
Que vas sufrir
Niño preparate
Salte veneno
Niño preparate
Salte de aquí
Niño preparate
Labios temblando
Niño preparate
Salte veneno
Niño preparate
Salte de aquí
Niño preparate
Brincan los cuerpos
Vas a sufrir

My my my nails peel back
When the taxidermist ruined
Goose stepped the freckling impatience
All the brittle tombs
Five hundred little q’s
I’m splitting hairs to match the faces

Come on now
All night
I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia nací

Now this train don’t lie
An abortion that survived
A lineage of bastard mastacation
All the severed proof
Talons scratch my suite
These are the feathers that replace them

Come on now
All night
I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia nací

Who do you trust?
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb

I found the remnants of a crescent fang
It cleaned my wing down to the bone
Umbilical syllables left to decode
There was no cradle
I can taste it

Come on now
All night
I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia nací

Who do you trust?
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb

Bring me this plague
She took a drink
Those nicotine stains
On his every word
My scavenger quilt
Will only hide the truth
Bring me
Bring me this plague

[3. Facilis Descenus Averni]

I count the days to find
What was left behind
Only these names I clutch
Will lead me to my home
Somehow this river marks
A wrinkle hand in mine
And everyday that parts
The water into two
Mothers and feathers start
To drown the living proof
I can’t remember
these lakes of blood
Wrapped in a blanket
There sweats a cut

Who do you trust?
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb

Who do you trust?
Will they feed us the womb
Chorme the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb...

[4. Con Safo]

Does anybody know why Japan got it early? Is it because they're doing shows there?

Postscript: This album totally rules and shows the originality of these musicians. A totally different 'feel' than De-Loused.

Omar is sooo awsome...he uses his voice in such a bewildering way. The fact that he sings in Spanish is the best part...overall a great 4 tracks of this hella sick album

is it possible to find the "decrypted scenario" of the story that this album is telling ? If yes, where ?
23-07-2005 07:10AudioDrive is offline AudioDrive 

328 posts
sure, there is a setting and story, but there i can't see a storyline

i undestand this as Vismund Cygnus being an adopted guy, whos mother [frances the mute] was murdered by the church because of the birth of Vismund

after many years, probably 25, he begins a quest for finding his roots, he learns the truth from his biologycal grandmother [miranda] and aunt [l'via l'viaquez]. We swears revenge, and everything ends in massacre and no resolution

To my understanding, the traslation of the title of the third movement, "Facilis Desenus Averni," loosely translates to "Easy To Leave, To Repulse."

Not sure about Con Safo though. Apparently it's not Latin, 'cause the translator I have doesn't have any translation for it.

The song itself is too good for me to talk about, let's leave it at that.

the Averni / Averno is translated into Hell

Facilis Descenus Averni means (if i remember correctly, or at least vaguely) Easy Descent to Hell

as for Con Safo, it's in spanish, i guess..... Safo is the spanish spelling of Sappho, an Ancient Greek poet

Con Safo would be like "With Sappho"

I've read somewhere that the words "con safo" aree written in mexico next to tags on walls, and it mean that this tag is protected, and that people must not draw over it or something.

Facilis Descenus Averni

I've read on the comatorium that the extended translation of "Facilis Descenus Averni" (well, there's a spelling mistake in it, but whatever) meant "it is easy to fall into moral despair"
