This song is about a legendary prophet/fortune teller that possesses the power of seeing into the future with remarkable accuracy. Though he helps many people with this unique skill, he is unable to save himself from a horrible fate. One night in a dream, the soothsayer sees his wife passing away. When he awakens, he is unable to find the exact day and time it will take place and she ends up dying. To profess his undying love for her, he commits suicide hoping that they will be reunited in death for eternity. The plan backfires when upon his death, he is taken to another dimension far away from her and all life on earth. A sort of empty, lonely pergatory, alone in limbo with nothing but the only thing he and all of us really have in this life that is truly ours.......OURSELVES!!

ONE BEYOND THE GRAVE "Title Track"

(Music by FATAL MAIM, Lyrics and Music by John Scarfone)

He saw great sights noone else could see, from the stories that were told. His visions, unknown prophecies, of what the future holds and will become. The visionary's second sight, fortells the dying truth. A seer sees, the scared believe, skeptics search for proof of what's been said and done.

She came to him, a prophetic vision, with incoherant cries of pain. Dressed in night clothes that were torn and beaten, reaching out she calls his name, save her now. A persistant illusion of his mourning, her lost soul astray on a phychic voyage of no return.

The death they share imprisions her, the forsight of the freethinker, waiting for their souls to join as one........

ONE BEYOND THE GRAVE

Their future flows in one direction, a linear, grim destiny. With rivers, wide and full of hatred, wandering on aimlessly. Alone and free. Beyond the grave she stares in shame, gazing down her mortal corpse. Wishing she could crawl inside it, deeper wounds give her no choice. Leave me now. He hears her words, sheds his last tear, stares contently as her picture falls. He grasps a dagger, stabbing wildly, as blood streams down the empty wall, THEY ARE NEVER ONE.
