Lyrics Into The Soil - Defeated Sanity

Into The Soil

Open casket, a ritual of death
In the name of human vanity
One last gaze upon the deceased
A desperate clinging to the mortal vessel
Morbid reality kept away from civilized society
An induced image of peaceful rest displayed to the mourners
Postmortal cosmetics
Enhancing the body’s presentation
Scars concealed, eyes sewn shut
Tampering with nails and hair of the dead
Blood displaced by formaldehyde
Bloating the emaciated corpse to a near vital shape
Almost lifelike color is restored
Conclusion to the service
Human doll is now lowered into the soil
Contaminated, eggs hatch in orifices
Within, sweet fumes linger
Embalment will start to lapse
Eventually rendering tissue defenseless
Vital, activity
Shows in the necrotic body
Fluid’s effects fail
Maggots find their way
Domain of decay
Slowly eaten away
Fluid’s effects fail
Maggots find their way
Domain of decay
Slowly eaten away
Chemical expulsion
Part human sludge is purged
Body shrinks as maggots finish their meal
«Dead, stiff and cold, in your box, to decay»
