To the Dead

Noxious decay steals the breath from your lungs Nauseated by this necrotic gunge Fluids leak through plastic as necrovores feast Amino acids break down within the deceased Decarboxylation, ornithine decays Regurgitation, chunks haphazardly sprayed The stench, of cadaverine You retch, huffing putrescine In death, these compounds released Breathe deep The stench, of cadaverine You retch, huffing putrescine In death, these compounds released Breathe deep - putrescine and cadaverine Death warmed over smells worse than it looks You spew, unprepared by your anatomy books Nostrils besieged by cadaveric vapors Uncontrolled eruction earns your colleagues' disfavor Decarboxylation, arginine breaks down Regurgitation, spatters your medical gown The stench, of cadaverine You retch, huffing putrescine In death, these compounds released Breathe deep The stench, of cadaverine You retch, huffing putrescine In death, these compounds released Breathe deep - putrescine and cadaverine The odor ingrained Leaving a permanent stain Your mind starts to reel Your thoughts can no longer congeal The stench, of cadaverine You retch, huffing putrescine In death, these compounds released Breathe deep The stench, of cadaverine You retch, huffing putrescine In death, these compounds released Breathe deep - putrescine and cadaverine

Siphon the fluid from your rotting husk From blackened veins into the tubes, entrust Through the trocar, the gurgling juices flush A noxious concoct of post-mortal sludge Drain out the rancid ichor My stomach turning sicker Exsanguinated shell Emits a fetid smell Bled dry of vim and vigor, drained of color Coursing like a viscous river, ghastly pallor Tapping veins with morbid rigor, drained of color Fluids vacate your hollowed figure, drained of color Boil, toil, and trouble borne on the putrid air The sloshing solution, now too much to bear Chyme and offal expurgated So deftly desiccated A gross and ghastly sight From blue, to gray, to white Bled dry of vim and vigor, drained of color Coursing like a viscous river, ghastly pallor Tapping veins with morbid rigor, drained of color Fluids vacate your hollowed figure, deathly dolor, drained of color Clotted serum coagulates Your wasted body deteriorates The wretched fetor nauseates Onto the slab, I regurgitate Chyme, grume, and vomit stain the cold, tile floor A wretched impression left of stinking fore What's left but the spume and spatter And bits of putrid matter The stains of your remains Are now flushed down the drain Bled dry of vim and vigor, drained of color Coursing like a viscous river, ghastly pallor Tapping veins with morbid rigor, drained of color Fluids vacate your hollowed figure, deathly dolor, drained of color

Numb and gray, drift through numbered days Your thoughts decay, as you dig your grave to Pass the time, sift through grue and grime Submerged in slime, now your eager mind is Fertile ground, for these thoughts unsound You're sinking down, in darkness you drown, your Fevered brain, thirsts for the insane Your thoughts deranged by the sick and strange and their escapades Are you not entertained? (Entertained) By these works profane? Are you not depraved? (Depraved) By these minds insane? The lurid details of shredded entrails They thrill without fail, lurid tales Growing faint, at the scenes they paint Without restraint, it's your thoughts they taint and Tantalize, as they brutalize You can't avert your bulging eyes, you're Hypnotized, sickness undisguised, you're Deader than you realized, you Can't deny, what you feel inside Your morbid side won't be satisfied until someone's died Are you not entertained? (Entertained) By these works profane? The lurid details of shredded entrails They thrill without fail, lurid tales Lurid (Lurid) Lurid, shocking and vile Now you thrill, to each twisted kill Never get your fill of sleaze and swill, you Lap it up, on sickness you sup Watch closely as eyeballs erupt, and Splatter gore, screaming out for more Bleeding bodies by the score, to Titillate, senses now prostrate Pupils dilate, as you await, gore served on a plate Are you not entertained?

Molding a death-machine Inculcating an abhorrence of life The language of violence, so pure and clean The bleeding edge of existential strife In a world lit only by fire Defined solely by contours of pain Praises of death sung ever higher Madness begins to sound sane Undertaking the overkilled Sustained by the blood that they've spilled The mass grave yawns as it's overfilled Undertaking the overkilled A thin line between reason and violence Between derangement and sanity In cold blood, it festers in silence Internecine misanthropy These violent fantasies, encroaching by degrees Thoughts start to metastasize, carnage soon realized A conscience benumbed A spirit deafened and dumb Thoughts marching in time with the thrum Of the danse macabre your life has become Undertaking the overkilled Sustained by the blood that they've spilled The mass grave yawns as it's overfilled Undertaking the overkilled Thirsting for slaughter A ravening hunger for claret and gore Smelling blood in the water And desperately demanding more Phrenetic and rabid Decorum and empathy long since forgotten Your addiction so avid Unable to smell that it's you who've gone rotten Undertaking the overkilled Sustained by the blood that they've spilled The mass grave yawns as it's overfilled Undertaking the overkilled The overkilled

Sickened by life and all its masquerades The warmth of flesh repels me, my touch as cold as a scalpel's blade Silently, in the mortuary Fumbling, towards ecstasy So take me down upon your sterile slab And please let me drown in your pallid flesh so drab In secrecy, post-autopsy I stand revealed, naked and shivering For dead eyes to see Necrotica, abased by your rancid juice Necrotica, cleansed in your mephitic sluice Embraced by death, another pantomime But in my realm of shades, no light would deign to shine Silently, in the mortuary Fumbling, towards ecstasy This tryst unseen Necrotica, abased by your rancid juice Necrotica, cleansed in your mephitic sluice Necrotica, upon the slab I lay prostrate Necrotica, benumbed and dead we consummate Your thorax splayed I stand breathless, but unafraid I've found my resting place In this decayed embrace No prying eyes to scorn This love in solitude born Our touch, burns like ice In our putrid paradise To have loved and to have lost, a tale as old as it is true To have loved but at what cost? When all that's left is chyme and grue Inexorably, then came lividity Our love did atrophy, as is the destiny Of all anatomy Necrotica, abased by your rancid juice Necrotica, cleansed in your mephitic sluice Necrotica, upon the slab I lay prostrate Necrotica, benumbed and dead, inconsolate

Row upon row of tidy headstones Molder in silence above maggots and bones Too long concealed, the rot that's below A decrepit reality that belongs on show In neither epitaph nor epithet Has the truth been spoken yet Their eternal repose must now be upset So their worm-eaten faces we'll never forget Coffin lids unsealed Wretchedness revealed Putridity unconcealed Fluids congealed Wrest from their rest Slumber now sundered Deathbeds disheveled Peace in pieces plundered No headstone unturned No gravesite undisturbed Eternal rest perturbed Their respite undeserved We haven't learned So every monument must be overturned Splatter these sepulchres spurned No fucking headstone unturned In fields gone fetid and fallow Lie these graves in which the rancid now wallow Truth buried much too shallow Now shovel and spade smash through to the marrow Casket doors must crack Too long, the decay held back Mausoleum gates gone slack In a deluge of death, blood flows black Wrest from their rest Slumber now sundered Deathbeds disheveled Peace in pieces plundered No headstone unturned No gravesite undisturbed Eternal rest perturbed Their respite undeserved We haven't learned So every monument must be overturned Splatter these sepulchres spurned Leave no fucking headstone unturned No headstone unturned These icons belong shattered and spurned Respect for the dead is what we must unlearn Until every monument is battered and burned Their legacy must never return So every monument must be overturned Spatter their sanctity unearned Leave no fucking headstone unturned

Bound and gagged in my abattoir For anthropophagus butchery Salivation fills my maw As I polish my finest cutlery A pound of flesh, to ingest and digest Served with crème fraîche You will witness as I gnash Pieces of you prepared with panache Lipid morsels on a skewer Clean my plate until you are... Defecated Defecated Die as you have lived, a total piece of excrement Defecated Hack away at extremities One-by-one, to be savored A truly delectable amputee As I devour the deftly dismembered Your carrion, I set upon A true gourmand Eyes agog as you witness Your deltoid served as my main dish Pan-seared with some melted ghee Once digested you will be... Defecated Defecated Die as you have lived, a total piece of excrement Defecated Gleefully feasting on long pig fondue Delighted in your expression Expelling my bowels in your purview Observing your own digestion Adipose tissue and blood I have culled Makes a sweet marinade Organs and sweetmeats are finally pulled As your consciousness fades A digestif of liquefied brains Feces and shit are all that remains Defecated Defecated Die as you have lived, a total piece of shit Defecated

Morbidly transfixed With all that makes me sick A consciousness cleft betwixt Sanity and something worse With each thought perplexed By this mephitic hex So virulently vexed A brain about to burst No longer fantasies Manifesting by degrees Tenebrous tendencies I now perceive Disgusted Engulfed in the unclean Disgusted Inundated by thoughts obscene Repulsed and fascinated Enthralled and nauseated Disgusted With each passing hour My waking dreams devoured Quivering, my conscience cowers From this thing that I've become Slashing through my eager mind Fantasies I'd feared to find Learning that I'm so inclined To let my empathy grow numb And so I take this blade My choice now clearly made But once the violence fades A dread pervades Disgusted Engulfed in the unclean Disgusted Inundated by thoughts obscene Repulsed and fascinated Enthralled and nauseated Disgusted Repugnant, repulsive epiphany What the mirror reflects back at me A putrid portrait of lunacy Derangement taken hold utterly Viscera lay scattered Ichor want only spattered Sanity at last shatters Flesh left in tatters Wretched, wrenching, retching stench Clutching at clarity no longer entrenched In someone else's blood I am drenched A grisly, gore-soaked, gratuitous gut-wrench Cranium pulped and pulverized Gray matter bruised and brutalized No nose, no face, no mouth, no eyes Disgusting dreams now realized Death courses through blackened veins Another life so cruelly slain As they endeavor to explain The depths of my depravity Now madness I embrace Leaving the world to face The disgust I felt replaced With a numb tranquility The abhorrence I impart Within the bowels of the torn apart Makes you so sick at heart Behold my art and be Disgusted Engulfed in the unclean Disgusted Inundated by thoughts obscene Repulsed and fascinated Enthralled and nauseated Disgusted
