Terminal condition, rampant infection spread too far - leaving many scars
Cadaverous contagion, to necrotize, slash, and mar - blood now black as tar
Repugnant epidemic, deadened hearts beat as one - keeping time with d**h's drum
The rotting now systemic, the end at last must come - now the grue starts to run
A global funeral, a worldwide wake
Lay it all to rest, for the worms to take
Experiment that failed, we now must help it die
And let our d**h knell now decry:
Sic transit gloria mortem
So pa**es the glory of d**h
Sic transit gloria mortem
So long unrecognized, dying once disguised as life - on the edge of a knife
But lift the putrid veil, beyond the pale and see the light - existence wrought with strife
A shattered hope undone, the dead were taught they'd none to serve - a brutal lesson unlearned
They then enthroned, 'pon their own bones the masters that they deserved - for a gravesite reserved
A global funeral, a worldwide wake
Lay it all to rest, for the worms to take
Experiment that failed, we now must help it die
And let our d**h knell now decry:
Sic transit gloria mortem
So pa**es the glory of d**h
Sic transit gloria mortem
So pa**es the glory - of d**h...
For the glory of d**h - so many caskets were nailed
For the glory of d**h - so many bloody banners were hailed
For the glory of d**h - so many putrefying years
For the glory of d**h - we present an anthem to fall on dead ears
[Lead - Bud]
Sign the d**h certificate, tag the toe, close the box - and let it rot
Place this vile grotesquery in the vault and turn the lock - and pray it's forgot
Misshapen and horrendous, filthy, diseased, and impure - a necrotopia obscure
Better off reduced to ash thus its extinction a**ured - but bury it deep, to be sure
A global funeral, a worldwide wake
Lay it all to rest, for the worms to take
Experiment that failed, we now must help it die
And let our d**h knell now decry:
Sic transit gloria mortem
So pa**es the glory of d**h
Sic transit gloria mortem
So pa**es the glory - of d**h...
