Postmortem literally means "after death."
This is a song about a man who's after death--wanting to die is his reason to live. He's made his preparations for the afterlife, and is fulfilling them in order to live on past his death.
Seeking Life Beyond Your Perishment
Repeating Words Echoing Through Your Mind
Chanting Lines Of Blind Witchery
To Save Yourself From Extinction
At the final, fast part, the song shifts perspectives to first-person, where Araya is the man seeking death.
