[Verse 1]

Chant of monks, incense burns

Ceremony after death begun

Move deceased to afterlife

Feed back to the earth from where it comes

Prepare sky burial

Corpses taken to the mountain top

Summon birds of prey to eat

Dismembering the limbs with ritual knife

This empty vessel

A task he lives for

Vultures invited

To devour the corpse

[Chorus]

Bodybreaker

Vultures descend

Pulverize bones and flesh

Commence the end

Bodybreaker

Take them up high

Unite the dead

Sacred realm of the sky

[Verse 2]

Cycle of immortality

Not a bit of flesh will go to waste

Carcass laid to be picked clean

Feast the birds of prey on human taste

Set the soul free at last

This is the cadaver's final fate

Strive to do the task precise

All consumed the circle now complete

Mutilate ritual

Scatter ingest

Decomposition

A soul to digest

[Chorus]

Bodybreaker

Vultures descend

Pulverize bones and flesh

Commence the end

Bodybreaker

Take them up high

Unite the dead

Sacred realm of the sky

[Verse 3]

Mutilation ritual

Returning the remains up to the sky

Wipes his hands of the blood

The work for him is finished for today

Tomorrow brings another death

And so the ritual begins again

Carry out the task with pride

Each man is chosen by his destiny

Nothing is left

Nothing remains

Mourn not the ones

Who are free of the pain

[Chorus]

Bodybreaker

Vultures descend

Pulverize bones and flesh

Commence the end

Bodybreaker

Take them up high

Unite the dead

Sacred realm of the sky
