Honestly, I've come to regard these lyrics as some of the best death metal lyrics ever. So evil and yet so poetic, without a hint of emo weakness or pretentiousness.

Too bad the song dosent really live up to the standard of the lyrics, I would've liked to see the "Impure/Unclean/etc am I"-sections performed in more consistent way with a rhythmic, strong riff that could have made this, dare I say, somewhat catchy...
