Dead And Dripping

(альбом: None So Vile - 1996)

Matriarchal piety disturbed at their vespers
Sisterly society feels the stifling whispers...
Anger of the dead-at-sea denied proper interment
Dumped overboard summarily, washed down in a current

Sepulchral consideration... wrathful omen...
Dog removed from the casket, dead and dripping

First stage of disintegration... piecemeal decomposition
Of the indignant deceased, submerged for what reason?
Parchedness of living throats and mouths has cracked some tongues
But attempts to slake their thirst only leads to soaking lungs

Hearts are heavy, minds are numb, souls oppressed...
Supernatural siege upon the landlocked dead
Baptism in netherfluids in their crypts
But suffocating dryness in the catacombs

Mad at thirst, they dry
To draw sustenance
From a burial mound
Necrophagous fails
Aridity ends lives
More wet corpses found

Watery warfare, and in its mist, the forsaken
Who cry for them, the bridges of the flaccid god

Intone a funeral rosary...
Blessed morbid murmur
To hopefully placate the dead and
End the curse of moisture
