Only Ash Remains Lyrics

Fear is never gone from your soul
that saw humiliation.
Being prey to the blackest of demons,
paralyzed you fail.

Fallen beneath
the mark of dignity,
you fail.

(A) demon passed on from one
to the next infiltrates
a mind innocent and pure;
planting the seed to possess
another soul that is doomed to fail.

Only Ash Remains

(Solos: Muenzner/ Suicmez/ Muenzner/ Suicmez)

(A) demon passed on from one
to the next infiltrates
a mind innocent and pure;
being prey to the blackest
of demons, paralyzed they fail.

Fallen beneath
the mark of dignity,
they fail.

Only Ash Remains

Easily my favorite Necrophagist song. Everything in it is perfect...

As for the meaning... whenever I read the text, I can't help but to think about the movie Evil Dead. In the movie, a couple of collage students goes on a vacation to a small cabin in the woods, where they accidentaly awaken an evil force. The force kills them one by one and turns them all into demons, until only one remains - the one named Ash.

I originally thought of this song being about how the corrupt spread their suffering to the innocent, but what Varulf says is pretty spot on, too.

Cover art for Only Ash Remains lyrics by Necrophagist

I say it's about your fear controlling you when trying a new experience, and you're paralysed so much, you inevitably fail. The past failure sticks in your mind, and you think you're no good, so you don't bother to try ever again.

hahahahaha I never noticed, but yeah i think this song is definitely an evil dead reference no questions asked. That's funny as hell I never thought of like that till i looked at this page. good call Varulf! you're probably right.
