I Rot Within

(album: All Guts, No Glory - 2011)

This olidous odyssey, a macabre descent
Through a mass of necrosis to reach beyond the end
Suppurative cessation, an ending in gore
Pathological obsession to reach the rotten core

Tangle of bowels I now unravel deep within
Lost in this carnal labyrinth
Tumescent hive or just a human rubbish bin
Lost in this carnal labyrinth, I rot within

Serpentine intestines, their coil unwinds
Mortuous vexation is all there is to find
Repugnant, reeking maze that seems without egress
Enterotome, chisel and bonesaw the keys to open the abscess
To open the abscess

Tangle of bowels I now unravel deep within
Lost in this carnal labyrinth
Tumescent hive or just a human rubbish bin
Lost in this carnal labyrinth, I rot within

Quagmire in pus, livor mortis' aftermath
Posthumous waste, culling human chaff
The grotesque grip of death's dissolve
Ensnared in entrails, the puzzle unsolved

Tangle of bowels I now unravel deep within
Lost in this carnal labyrinth
Tumescent hive, or just a human rubbish bin
Lost in this carnal labyrinth, I rot within
