I don't like when people say their music is terrifying. It's not.. it gives me shivers but it's not scary. my instincts become subconsciously alert every time i hear this, even if I'm not paying attention

The opening of the mouth was one of the most important parts in the ritual of mummification in Ancient Egypt. Opening the mouth magically enabled the deceased to eat, drink and speak in the after-life.
