Nile - The Inevitable Degradation Of Flesh Lyrics






I have come to you that you may Heal my corpse
Permit me to go down into the Earth Forever
Such as He who will not be Ravaged

May I not become Corrupt
May my Ka Ascend aloft May it descend only after it has perished

Such is he who is Decayed
All his bones are corrupt
His flesh is slain his bones are softened
His body is made into foul water
His degradation stinks and he turns into many worms
When he is sent to the eye of Shu

Every mortal is thus
All those who live will die
All who die shall rot

Do not give me over to the slayer who lurks inside
Who rots the hidden one
Who decomposes corpses
Who does what has been commanded

I have awakened in Perversion and dread
I possess not my body
I have become corrupt decayed putrid
Worms gorge upon me
Maggots infest my organs
Vermin gnaw my skull
My eyes have been eaten my ears are deaf
Rotten flesh falls from my bones
My head has romeved itself form my neck
My tongue taken away
My hair has been cut off my eyebrows stripped
I have become what I abhor

    Usually I listen to psychedelic stuff but sometimes I enjoy music like this :D Be open minded for every music genre out there!!

    A.... w....

    Except modern rap. It's still trash

  5. S.... G....

    The snare sounds better on this album!

  6. Z.... S....

    Ppl can complain about the production all they want, this is still a solid nile album. Not the best but no where near bad. Hail nile!

    Z.... S....

    The Gods Who Light Up The Sky.. and Supreme Humanism of Megalomania are 2 of Nile's best songs. Granted, that IS a broad category (their best songs), but they are definitely up there, even without being 7+ minutes long!

  7. v.... d....

    good album...but i dont like the production !!!

  8. N.... M....

    Super insane drumming..... cant keep up when im sprinting

  9. R.... R....

    for sure this is the hardest song to play on drum

    R.... R....

    Craaaazy fast,you should check the drumming of ocean ate alaska - blood brothers

    Nile is always 100% pure perfection.
    My no.1 favorite band of all time.
    There is none better.
    Period.

  11. b.... ....

    This is probably top 3 in my list. I've recently got obsessed with Nile n then Sir Dallas leaves right a way. He was the main lyricist I'm a big fan of history. Can someone recomend some documentarys of egyptology in the spirit of Nile?

  12. J.... T....

    Nile are freaking insanely awesome.unique and always good

  13. S.... R....

    J.... M....

    Me too, buddy...

  18. B.... ....

    The sheer speed and attack on display here deserves acclaim in it's own right. This album (compared to the others) has a slightly more agile, percussive sound that plays well into the energy of the songs. Well done to the engineers/mastering guys also, this album sounds great on CD, and even better on vinyl.

    B.... ....

    not a very brutal comment \../

    This is what happens when you don't pay your bill...
    Lyrics:
    I have contacted you, So you may hear my call, Permit me to go down into the appointment book, Such as he who wants to feed on rabbit, May I now please speak to Rob, Make my cut all centered off, made seasoned only after it is cherished, such as he who is delayed with all the bones pulled out, his flesh is flayed his buns are soaked in tasty flavored oil, This days vacation sings and he yearns to confirm, When he is sent to the isle of chew, Every morsel is thus, All those who live will dine, Every morsel is good, All those who live will dine, Those who dine with Rob, *solo* , give me now over to this waiter, but Robs not here anymore, whom did compose these courses, who does what this man commands, Every morsel is good, all those who live will dine, Every morsel is good, all those who live will dine, those who dine with Rob, *breakdown* , I have awakened now thirsty and drink, I possess not my wallet, I have to speak to Rob, to pay, your check, Wears George Ar-ma-ni, Mac N' Cheese fills my organs, further now must call my guys have been eatin', My beers on credit, Rob did flash false from my groans, My handbills removed itself, from my shame, I got taken away, my hair has been cut off, my eyebrows stripped, I have become what I abhor.

    C.... ....

  32. S.... B....

    4:08 "My hair has been cut off" ...true story.

    S.... B....

    @Baphomet you are right about that. I cut mine off for a car sales job. I can't convey the feeling. Been 4 months now...

    S.... ....

    They did not change singers. It's still Dallas and Karl.

    S.... ....

    @SteelSkin667 thank god i thought they went with someone new just to test it out for this song or something,i was gonna lose my shit lol

    S.... ....

    @BlowinSmokeBig
     but you did lose your shit, and it went everywhere.

    S.... ....

    It seems his vocals are just not as heavy as it was constantly. He still does it and extremely well. But now his vocals get darker where needed instead of constant. I like it. More talent. They got even better

  36. V.... ....

    I listen to this when my CD player is not working

  37. m.... ....

    "Slowly we Rot" - Obituary? :D

  38. K.... ....

    "When You live, the flesh,
    is the beggining of the end!"

  39. C.... ....

    All those who live will die,
    All those who die will ROT.
    That's how it goes.

    lol cannot be unheard

  41. s.... g....

    ha... hilarious!

  42. i.... P....

    3:33 mac n cheese fills my organs

  43. M.... W....

    What do you mean? A show explained Egyptology better than the lyrics from Nile? Well duh...Nile warps Egyptology for their liking and brutality-sake, it's not 100% factual.

  44. H.... S....

    TOMADO DE LA CRITICA DEL EL PORTAL DEL METAL...

  45. H.... S....

    hay que ser capaz de transmitir vivencias de muerte, corrupción carnal, guerras y horror, mediante una música aplastante, bien definida, exótica , y portadora de voces que parecen representar a momias resucitadas, espectros espeluznantes, en lo más profundo de las catacumbas de cualquier historia del género fantástico. Como si Tolmenec de Xuchotl nos aullaran en los oídos. En definitiva, hay que ser un absoluto fenómeno, además, estar rodeado de similares compañeros de batalla, , flipados #1

  46. m.... s....

    Do agree sir .

  47. j.... c....

    \mmmmmmmm/

  48. z.... t....

    growling at minimum on this song..

  49. O.... D....

    And Deathmetal is even better... \m/

  50. M.... ....

    Black Seeds of Vengeance is their best for me!
    Not sure what comes second, perhaps this album?

  51. N.... B....

    InTheirDarkestShrines was ALMOST as good as Annihilation but yeah, hard tot top that one. My favorite song goes to Usermaatre wich is an epic song from beginning to the end.

  52. v.... ....

    I hear you man, Annihilation had that murky, almost doom-metal vibe that made it work so well in my opinion. This is still a great album, its just that annihilation set such a standard that it'll be hard to top it

  53. N.... B....

    same way like you dude. Annihilation yeah! By the the way, the production killed this album because musicaly and technically they stay good.because of the bad production, the dark atmospferic thick sound is gone.

  54. H.... ....

    Karl said it was supposed to be very clean. Maybe too clean on this one.

  55. H.... ....

    Me too. The album's sound is more full than the others. It's the only way I could describe it.

  56. v.... ....

    Annihilation of the Wicked for me

  57. D.... V....

    Production is pretty terrible.

  58. b.... z....

    This song fcking shreds..

  59. g.... ....

    best nile album imo.

  60. F.... ....

    yeah i know them....very good, but i would say that there are many swedish bands that are simply better then Vomitory - again, just my opinion. the new Grave-Album for example i think is phenomenal ;-)

  61. S.... K....

    try vomitory

  62. F.... ....

    and to add sth.: i'm more then aware then listening to anything taht's labeled metal isn't all that great......i know there's a shitload of bands that is in my eyes just pure crap, but instead of getting mad or frustrated i just leave them, let them do their thing and search stuff that i like.
    also, i came to the point where i don't really care anymore how original or how inventive a band is. i just care about good songs, no matter if something similar is already out there....

  63. F.... ....

    well, i consider some of those bands i've mentioned really really good, but i cannot and did not expect you to (not) know or like these bands - that's all up to your personal taste, you wanted me to name a few and that's what i did.
    like i said, i'm ucrrently searching for a lot of bands that play that old school, especially swedish type of sound. and when i come across bands like Puteraeon, Fragments Of Unbecoming, etc then i think that death metal is anything but crap these days...

  64. S.... K....

    so, you expect that i dont know of these bands? by good, really good, i mean like : in their darkened shrines album, zyklon's everything, malevolent creation's in cold blood, cryptopsy's none so vile and once was not and so on... hell, even bloodbath is better than most of the stuff today and i know what im saying.listening to everything that is labeled "metal" isnt all that great ^^

  65. m.... ....

    yes Nile is ruling the brutal death metal scene !....i love their concept ,the music is incredible .it's very technical , but not "over"technical ! they keep it interesting , and the voices are super !...and live, 3 of 'em are "singing" ,AWESOME !

  66. F.... ....

    i'll just write a few down, technical/brutal death (whatever you wanna call it), maybe you've heard a few, i don't know ^^
    Beyond Creation, Obscura, Cytotoxin, Benighted, Bloodshot Dawn, Cadaveryne, Abominable Putridity, Godless Truth, Illogicist, Vale Of Pnath, Prostitute Disfigurement, Soreption, Scordatura, Trigger The Bloodshed
    i'm currently more into old school death, so i could probably name a lot more out of that category, but for now, check these ones out ;-)

  67. S.... K....

    ok, what can you advise me to listen to? im into technical and brutal stuff

  68. D.... N....

    Killer vocals. Audible and brutal! Gotta buy this shit.

  69. F.... ....

    pfff, pure crap?.....seems to me like you didn't spent a whole lot of time searching for more unknown bands. the underground is full of awesome and talented new bands, in all kinds of death metal.....just look at this whole new wave of swedish styled death metal bands for example - it's totally amazing.
    you just gotta search for it ;-)

  70. A.... W....

    I have the vinyl.Fucking awesome album! Great liner notes, poster and green LP
    Nile is the best band of today's death metal, at least in my opinion

  71. j.... k....

    nile were created in the 90's though

  72. 1.... ....

    ya he does

  73. C.... M....

    Awesome riff at 2.12

  74. C.... M....

    MAY MY KA ASCEND ALOOOOOOOFT!!!!!!!!

  75. M.... ....

    I feel like he says "All those who die will Rot"

  76. S.... K....

    yeah, death metal scene these days is pure crap

  77. l.... ....

    Still fucking brutal

  78. A.... ....

    a fuckin machine on drums D: !!!

  79. D.... W....

    Prove it, bro

  80. D.... ....

    fucking kickass live

  81. M.... W....

    450k people appreciate the music. Don't see what's wrong with that. A smaller fan base doesn't mean it's worse.

  82. r.... k....

    i agree, that was my point, that nile is unappreciated as music, not as a metal band. how about most technical metal band? i think nile is one of the more technical bands, but cannibal corpse can be pretty technical and job for a cowboy can be too.

  83. M.... W....

    Cannibal Corpse has over 1.1 million likes. For a brutal death metal band that's very amazing. If you compare that to the very popular mainstream artists, yeah it's very small.

  84. r.... k....

    that is true though. i suppose i mean metal as a whole and not slipknot or meshuggah metal, true, death metal is under-appreciated for its true musical brilliance. ( not trying to spark a debate, i'm just differentiating between the "stereotypical metal", if you will, and true metal.)

  85. M.... W....

    Unrecognized? 450k likes on facebook is pretty good for a band like this.

  86. T.... G....

    FAV SONG SO FAR! FUCKING BROOTAL!

  87. r.... k....

    it really does sound like he says that but actually it's "maggots infest my organs" for those whom are wondering...

  88. r.... k....

    and unfortunately underestimated and unrecognized. this is my favorite band right here and i'm going to see them in march.

  89. b.... ....

    HOLY LOL

  90. m.... g....

    hahahahahah it sure as hell does

  91. T.... ....

    he says:

    "All those who live will die!
    Those that die will ROT"

    It really is logic when you know what he is saying.

  92. B.... ....

    Cutting edge of metal right here.

  93. M.... S....

    lmao! doesn't get any more morbid than that

  94. A.... R....

    Dallas sings: "My hair has been cut off"... True story..

  95. m.... ....

    Sooner or later, as a matter of aging, these guys will have to slow down a bit....
    right? XD I'm fucking kidding, I realise that Osiris is incarnate in them and they cannot die! LONG LIVE NILE!!!

  96. F.... s....

    All the frontiers of death metal.. was destroyed by Nile....
    Nile its.... just.. Wow..... NILE RULES
