Lyrics Mutation of the Cadaver - Cannibal Corpse

Mutation of the Cadaver

Lying on the table dead
Coroner
Completes his task
Examining the wretched stiff
Suicide
The likely cause
Behind closed doors the change
Begins
Then it grows
Mutilation of the cadaver
Mutilation of the cadaver
Coroner returns to notice
Subtle change
How can this be?
Must be his imagination
The man’s been dead
For several days
The change continues after hours
Different face
Mutilation of the cadaver
Soon the corpse will change its shape
Who is it?
Mutilation of the cadaver
Mutilation of the cadaver
Mutilation of the cadaver
Mutilation of the cadaver
The coroner returns and sees
The body has truly changed
The corpse has stolen his face
And now he loses his mind
Shocking evolution
Mutilation of the cadaver
Hideous conversion
Mutilation of the cadaver
Postmortem upheaval
Mutilation of the cadaver
Awful transformation
Mutilation of the cadaver
Gruesome reconstruction
Mutilation of the cadaver
