Blood replaced with fluid

Make thyself presentable for ritual

Glue the eyelids shut

Makeup caked upon the stiffened visage

Say your final goodbyes

Shipped off in a box for eternal ruin

Raise the carcass high

Store inside the emptied hollow walls

Stiff and cold to touch

The beginning stage of decomposition

Flesh gives off a stench

Strong enough to stain my tongue with taste

Still, death has become

Left to rot with unknown lifeless corpses

Death, birth of the end

Eternal slumber as my frame disintegrates

The smell becomes sickening

The air is stale and reeks

Laid to rest in misery

Left by yourself, alone to rot in the crypt

Rancid the flesh now drips

A pool of liquid collects in my bed

Hair has grown to length

Teeth fall out of place as bones decay

Piles of ash collect

Centuries of burial takes its toll

Lost and now forgotten

Memories of existence now erased

The smell becomes sickening

The air is stale and reeks

Laid to rest in misery

Left by yourself, alone to rot in the crypt
