Only Ash Remains Lyrics

Cover art for Only Ash Remains lyrics by Necrophagist

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.
