lyrics
Cornered and helpless. I'm horrified and shaking
But I must not show fear nor cry out in order to have a good death
I must not beg for mercy. I will not see the next day
But I'm proud, as the blade strikes I leave to join the gods
I feel the warmth as my life disbands, spilling onto the
Staining the sand, the crowd roars as I fall lifeless and silent
This is a good death, but what has happened
I'm looking at my corpse
One dressed as Chloros
The other as Mercury, defile my body
This is not honorable
Defile
I am in a dream, I must redeem myself, myself, this is nothing like what I was told
I've been betrayed and I must redeem myself restore honor somehow I shall return
Defile the body dragged through the sand by hooks through the ankle
I tried to stay honorable but now they have stripped my pride
Restless soul wanders the earth forever
This is disgraceful
This is a bad death.
But I must not show fear nor cry out in order to have a good death
I must not beg for mercy. I will not see the next day
But I'm proud, as the blade strikes I leave to join the gods
I feel the warmth as my life disbands, spilling onto the
Staining the sand, the crowd roars as I fall lifeless and silent
This is a good death, but what has happened
I'm looking at my corpse
One dressed as Chloros
The other as Mercury, defile my body
This is not honorable
Defile
I am in a dream, I must redeem myself, myself, this is nothing like what I was told
I've been betrayed and I must redeem myself restore honor somehow I shall return
Defile the body dragged through the sand by hooks through the ankle
I tried to stay honorable but now they have stripped my pride
Restless soul wanders the earth forever
This is disgraceful
This is a bad death.

Under A Western Sun
by Son of Aureliussupported by 29 fans who also own “A Good Death”
Finally found this album after so many years. I listened to it when it first came out, and almost a decade later it holds up so well. One of THE best albums I have listened to.

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.
