Tamam Shud

Lyrics: NECRONOMIDOL
Music: 高橋考大

This song is based on the Tamám Shud murder case.
On December 1st 1948 the body of an unidentified man was found on Somerton Beach leaning against a wall near the Crippled Children’s Home in Glenelg, South Australia. He had no identification on him and all the labels had been removed from his clothing. His luggage was found on January 14th 1949 in Adelaide Railroad Station. Around the time of the death inquest another item was found in the fob pocket of his trousers. It was a small piece of paper with the words Tamám Shud on it. It had apparently come from a copy of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám which had been tossed into the back of a car by an unknown person near the time of the murder, or it is possible it came from a copy found on a bus around the same time. The murdered man remains unidentified to this day.
Tamám Shud means “ended” or “finished” in Persian [Farsi].

English Lyrics

All of your past
And your hopes for the future too
I’ll erase them all just for you

Where you came from, that’s unknown
But there’s only one destination
Let’s head to the morgue
You’re at your end

The cries of seagulls
Stabbing from the heavens
It’s no use running
Beacause…

All over the world, wherever you go
I’m always waiting for you
There’s nowhere you can hide
Its Tamam Shud, just for you

All the penitence in the world
Can’t remove the stain of blood
It’s too late for your sacraments

On the sandy shore
Your rotting corpse
Will probably just be food for the sea birds

The cries of seagulls
Stabbing from the heavens
It’s no use running
Beacause…

All over the world, wherever you go
I’m always waiting for you
There’s nowhere you can hide
Its Tamam Shud, just for you

In the blackest night
Standing in the pouring rain
I’m your goddess of vengeance
It’s Tamam Shud, just for you

All over the world, wherever you go
I’m always waiting for you
There’s nowhere you can hide
Its Tamam Shud, just for you

All over the world, wherever you go
I’m always waiting for you
There’s nowhere you can hide
Its Tamam Shud, just for you

In the blackest night
Standing in the pouring rain
I’m your goddess of vengeance
It’s Tamam Shud, just for you

All over the world, wherever you go
I’m always waiting for you
There’s nowhere you can hide
Its Tamam Shud, just for you
