A pyre (Ancient Greek: πυρά; pyrá, from πῦρ, pyr, "fire"), also known as a funeral pyre, is a structure, usually made of wood, for burning a body as part of a funeral rite or execution. As a form of cremation, a body is placed upon or under the pyre, which is then set on fire.
Uses
Traditionally, pyres are used for the cremation of the dead in the Hindu and Sikh religions, a practice which dates back several thousands of years. Funeral pyres were also used in Viking and Roman culture.
Secular
Pyres and bonfires are used in celebrations and remembrance in services. Examples of these are Guy Fawkes Night in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries, where the 'Guy', either seen as an effigy of Guy Fawkes or the Pope, is burned.
Funeral pyres were used by the Nazis to cremate the bodies of 1,500,000+ prisoners in Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka extermination camps, as opposed to the crematoria used in other camps. Pyres have also been used to dispose of large quantities of livestock in agriculture, particularly those infected with disease.
"Funeral Pyre" is The Jam's thirteenth single released on 6 June 1981. Backed by the B-side "Disguises", a cover of a Who track, it reached No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
Pyre is the only single co-written by the band, and only the second song which has writing credits for all three members, the other being "Music for the Last Couple" which features on the Sound Affects album.
The song does not appear on any of the band's studio albums. In the US, it appeared on the five-track EP The Jam (Polydor PX-1-503), which peaked at No. 176 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
The Funeral Pyre is an American blackened death metal band from La Habra, California, United States. The band has released three studio albums, two EPs, and two split 7" albums, and consists of guitarists James Joyce and Justin Garcia, vocalist John Strachan, drummer Alex Hernandez, and bassist Adam Campbell.
History
Formed under the name Envilent in 2001,The Funeral Pyre was formed in La Habra, California and entered the underground extreme music scenes in both LA and Orange counties. The Funeral Pyre has gained acclaim amongst metal internet press outlets for its Swedish-style melody, ethereal keyboards, and blackened vocals.
Several demos and an early EP were released under the band's former moniker, Envilent, until the independent release of the 2003 EP, October, when the band changed their name to The Funeral Pyre. Soon, the band released its first full-length album, Immersed by the Flames of Mankind in 2004, and a merger between Oregon's Leech and The Funeral Pyre was released in 2006, with limited quantities as a split 7" called The First Book Of The Kings, released through Forest Moon Special Products.

The Funeral Pyre - "Thieves"
Title: Thieves
Artist: The Funeral Pyre
Album: Wounds [2008]
Lyrics:
Thieves
Taking what is wrongfully theirs
All to be accepted in the modern world
Too scared, to right, the wrong
We cower amongst ourselves
Viewed as slaves to the powerful
Corrupted from day one
Their machines thrive on
Stealing from those with nothing to lose
Waiting until the iron fist punishes
Or until we've paid our mortal toll
Spare from their web of deceit
Treachery will always run deep, amongst the thieves

No more will I fall victim To unwanted emotions A heart so cold, a color of black Not a shadow lighter, for weakness Will rise to the surface Why is a body plagued with this? Enough pain to crumble the human mind This time, the tables have turned For a soul that is so filled with hate Will endure, will endure Give me the will of martyr To prove a lesson learned Help me remove this From my stream of blood A pain that yields fear Do I fear what lies ahead? Neglect that feeling of weakness There is no option An open mind brings me to rest
