Eternal Trail Of Corpses

Vomitory's song "Eternal Trail Of Corpses" paints a bleak and harrowing picture of humanity's self-destructive tendencies. The lyrics delve into themes of chaos, anarchy, and the cyclical nature of human violence. The opening lines, "Fallen empires, funeral world / Human's supremacy, forgotten dreams," suggest a world where past glories and dreams have been buried under the weight of human folly and destruction. The phrase "From chaos, the world was born" implies that disorder is an intrinsic part of existence, setting the stage for the song's exploration of humanity's darker impulses.

The song continues to describe a world in disarray, where "World disorder, reign in anarchy / Total carnage, cannibalised ferocity" reign supreme. This imagery evokes a sense of relentless violence and a society that has descended into barbarism. The repetition of "From chaos, the world will die" reinforces the idea that just as chaos gave birth to the world, it will also be its undoing. The chorus, "An eternal trail of corpses," serves as a grim reminder of the countless lives lost to this endless cycle of violence.

Further into the song, Vomitory addresses the role of religion in perpetuating suffering and violence. Lines like "Worldwide plague, religious rape / All in god's name, a world in suffering" criticize how religious fervor can lead to widespread devastation. The final verse, "Final desecration, human annihilation / Fanatic warriors, glory through suicide / All in God's name, the world is dead," underscores the ultimate consequence of fanaticism and blind faith: the complete annihilation of humanity. Through its brutal and unflinching lyrics, "Eternal Trail Of Corpses" serves as a stark commentary on the destructive nature of human civilization and the perilous path it treads.
