Pestilential Rictus Lyrics


Chaos and war caused disease to spread

Cannibal survivors were all that were left

Unnatural acts bring hideous plague

Humankind in its final stage

Dying

Mass extinction, the end is here

Grinning

They know they will die

Scraps of flesh hang from decrepit fangs

Necrotizing, putrid and rank

Countenance becomes a face of death

Jaws fixed as the rot ferments

Contamination taints the meat they consume

Exposed jawbone festers with drool

Labored gnashing, they struggle to eat

Facial muscles enfeebled and weak

Pestilential rictus

Rotting flesh decays

Grin is fixed in misery, rancid rotting maw

Corpselike humans slowly march

Desolation, barren and dark

Nothing lives except these ghoulish fiends

Ambushing rivals they attempt to feed

The morbid remnant fight to survive

All decent people had long since died

Devoid of conscience they seek only food

Still alive but their world is a tomb

Pestilential rictus

Rotting flesh decays

Grin is fixed in misery, rancid rotting maw

Pestilential rictus

Skin now falls away

Facial muscles atrophy, soon to putrefy

The soul has failed mankind

Forsaken by what they revered

The damned are left behind

Eternally grinning with fear

Diseased inhuman predation

They live in terror and terrorize

Dying

Mass extinction, the end is here

Grinning

They know they will die

Rotting

Mass starvation, man eating man

Rictus

Bared teeth horrify

Pestilential rictus

Rotting flesh decays

Grin is fixed in misery, rancid rotting maw

Pestilential rictus

Skin now falls away

Facial muscles atrophy, soon to putrefy
