Into the Everblack Lyrics

One thousand hands pull you down into dark waters
victimized, time of life on earth expired

coldly served the vengeance damning, murder in the first degree
fodder for the oaken box, so lined with velvet tapestry

descent imminent, bladder and bowels into pants spent
the glow is waning in your eyes, what's coming next is no surprise
death phlegm rattles, terrible the choking swansong
rapid decline, when old age brings burdens cumbersome

cruelly dealt the sickness growing, malignancies triumphantly
destroyed you from the inside out, begging for death insistently

into the everblack, from where there's no coming back
six feet below the earth, rotting food for the fetid worms
into the harrowed grave, your mortal soul cannot be saved
into the nether realm, dead as slate and cold as hell

rest in festering slime
here burns the souls of a thousand generations

funereality, headstones towering above
s'far as the eye can see, condemned to hell so morbidly
my friend you'll never see, lost forever in between
in revenance you've been deceived, what you have prayed for shall not be
your hollow cries he has denied, your weak religion dies
with thee a feeble cross, insignia of fabled gods
you'll haunt a landscape draped in grey, deceased and meant to be
to push the daisies up eternally, your name is here in stone

into the everblack, from where there's no coming back
six feet below the earth, rotting food for the fetid worms
into the harrowed grave, your mortal soul cannot be saved
into the nether realm, dead as slate and cold as hell

Cover art for Into the Everblack lyrics by Black Dahlia Murder, The

This is an actual quote from Trevor to Decibel Magazine, where he explained each of the tracks on Everblack.

This song is fucking cool… part futuristic (the chugging syncopated verses) and part old school (the slow ominous chorus). Lyrically speaking the song is about death without salvation or any notion of heaven. It’s saying that when you die you are just dead and nothing happens… You rot and worms crawl into your face. There is a nod to Entombed’s Left Hand Path in the middle of the song where I have incorporated the headstone inscription from the album’s artwork. I thought it would be a cool gesture for any old school fans who were paying attention.
