Lyrics :

Funeral held for depression of man
Holds the key to his own death
Enter a tomb of a corpse yet conceived
Tighten the tourniquet round your neck.

Lyrics :

Sifting away debris of hated life
Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine

Seeking life before your perishment
Repeating words echoing through your mind . . .

(Back to main rhythm)

Second verse :

Lyrics :

Chanting lines of blind witchery
Save yourself from extinction
Wanting to die is your reason to live
New life born from the oppressed

(Rhythm change)

Taste you blood as it trickles through the air
Another casualty before the shadows, you fall

Losing power, the fate you feel draws near,
Mortality, reality, await the final call !!!!!

My sinful glares at nothing hold
Thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons In My Mind Commence
Tearing At My Sanity
Vessels In My Brain Carry Death Until My
Birth
Come and die with me forever,
Share insanity.

Play 4 times.

The waves of blood are crashing near,
Pounding on the wall of lies,
Turning off my sanity,
Reaching back into my mind
Non rising bodies from the grave
Showing new reality
What I am, what I was, I'm only after death !

To me, its about being executed and the process by which a criminal dies while being hung.

Raining Blood sounds better with the last 40 seconds of Postmortem. It gives the song a more bombastic introduction.
