Immortal Rites Lyrics
Gathered for a sacred rite
Subconscious minds allied
Call upon immortals
Call upon the oldest ones to intercede
Rid us of our human waste
Cleanse our earthly lives
Make us one with darkness
Enlighten us to your ways
From churning worlds of mindlessness
Come screams unheard before
Haunting voices fill the room
Their source remaining undefined
Shadows cast from faceless beings
Lost for centuries
Lords of death, I summon you
Reside within our brains
Cast your spells upon our lives
So that we may receive
The gift of immortality
Bestowed on those who seek you
Subconscious minds allied
Call upon immortals
Call upon the oldest ones to intercede
Rid us of our human waste
Cleanse our earthly lives
Make us one with darkness
Enlighten us to your ways
Come screams unheard before
Haunting voices fill the room
Their source remaining undefined
Shadows cast from faceless beings
Lost for centuries
Reside within our brains
Cast your spells upon our lives
So that we may receive
The gift of immortality
Bestowed on those who seek you

Totally applicable in a world where every human is so sucked into consumption and every human mind is a welcoming empty book for someone to fill-up.

Overall the beauty of the song is about releasing the finer aspects of our existence like the soul and the spirit which is immortal and trapped in this form of flesh and bones !
basically it is about a ritual to the gods of death to achieve immortality
