Following the death theme of the opening track “Myrrhman” with its religious motives, “Ascension Day” has the narrator contemplating about his sins, which he believes will be punished by God.

In Christianity, Ascension Day refers to Jesus' departure to Heaven and is celebrated 40 days after his death.

The track dynamically builds up like a storm towards the end until it suddenly cuts off, which could signify the sudden death of the character. This is directly leading into “After The Flood,” which further suggests that some type of catastrophe has passed.
