lyrics

Once the body ceases to live
It becomes impure
To demons and evil entities
It's free to be possessed

Every cadaver has a place to rot
Men in the outer ring, women in the middle

Children in the inner ring, the central pit
The bloodshed pit, the bloody hole
Stripped by the vultures
Until bones are bleached
It’s the fate of mortal corpses
Burnt by the sun and defleshed

Tower of Silence
To excarnate bodies
Tower of Silence
To liberate souls
Into the eternal realm of death

After the purification process
Bones are to rest in the ossuary
Where they will remain through ages
As a testimony of their past entity

Long lost ancient ritual
Zoroastrian altars
Still stand defiant
To the corpse demons

To purify the corpse
Expose it to the elements
On the altar of putrefaction
The soul is to be cleansed

Every cadaver has a place to rot
Men in the outer ring, women in the middle

Children in the inner ring, the central pit
The bloodshed pit, the bloody hole
Stripped by the vultures
Until bones are bleached
It’s the fate of mortal corpses
Burnt by the sun and defleshed

Tower of Silence
To excarnate bodies
Tower of Silence
To liberate souls
Into the eternal realm of death

After the purification
Bones are to rest in the ossuary
They will remain through ages
A testimony of their past entity

Long lost ancient ritual
Zoroastrian altars
Still stand defiant
To the corpse demons
