Dead After Dead Lyrics


How did you die?

Oppressed by laxity (demoted to the end of the hierarchy)

Sour draff In a steel vale- liquids and fluids of a recently dead

What is it awaiting me inside (I won't fail to check)

Latent arcanes of rigor mortis and foggy retinas

Pragmatically I evaluate this jigsore quandary

As the acidic silt permeates through black bags

Every next enigma, haunts me alike

Unbinding in a ignoble odour

Decomposed bodies tells us a tale

If you are a surgical non-illiterate

Coroner’s apron imbibe perspiration

Excitatory delirium psilosis, discharged in a sordid sink

Byzantine limbs in disarray, ghastly pallor

Dismembered cadaver, dislodged phalanges

Askant separated mandible, but lack of a head

Psoriatic epidermis, lurid scent

(solo: “Earnest audit and olfactory degustation of aqueous stubs”)

(solo: “Latent traces of crime elicitation”)

Stiff by stiff,

Dead after dead

Under scalpel,

Dead after dead

On the slab,

Dead after dead

Stitch them up,

Dead after dead

How did you die?

What bothers those skeletal remains?

Wordless conversation with bacterial husk

Unsecured wreck, bifurcated on polypropylene bags

Cannula penetrates mildewy torso

Steel skin clips and retractors in usage

I sleuth clinical death

Evading cleaved ribcage, I’m cutting off viscera

Fragrant parenchyma of a curdled stiff

Greenish stains decorate sloughed tissues

Odoriferous tank water pours out of the depth of abdomen

Organized with coronary tags

The cause of death is in the missing head

Kelpic fillet, washed from crimson

Saporous foam from cleansed wounds

Blackened sanguis frozen in sylphlike streams

Lacerated cuts, particularly by water animals

(solo: “Perfusion of fluted bones, consumed by humus with corrosive saline”)

Dismantled and stitched from the bases

Prepared on the crematorium slab

You’ll stay unidentified forever

Putrefied cadaver pulverized to a coke

Another conundrum is arriving

With a frangible craniofacial

Here the workflow is never slow

In a sterile, surgical premausoleum

Stiff by stiff,

Dead after dead

Under scalpel,

Dead after dead

On the slab,

Dead after dead

Stitch them up,

Dead after dead, after dead, after dead

That's the way of forensic necro-pathologist in this zoetrope of rot
