No Headstone Unturned Lyrics


Row upon row of tidy headstones

Molder in silence above maggots and bones

Too long concealed, the rot that's below

A decrepit reality that belongs on show

In neither epitaph nor epithet

Has the truth been spoken yet

Their eternal repose must now be upset

So their worm-eaten faces we'll never forget

Coffin lids unsealed

Wretchedness revealed

Putridity unconcealed

Fluids congealed

Wrest from their rest

Slumber now sundered

Deathbeds disheveled

Peace in pieces plundered

No headstone unturned

No gravesite undisturbed

Eternal rest perturbed

Their respite undeserved

We haven't learned

So every monument must be overturned

Splatter these sepulchres spurned

No fucking headstone unturned

In fields gone fetid and fallow

Lie these graves in which the rancid now wallow

Truth buried much too shallow

Now shovel and spade smash through to the marrow

Casket doors must crack

Too long, the decay held back

Mausoleum gates gone slack

In a deluge of death, blood flows black

Wrest from their rest

Slumber now sundered

Deathbeds disheveled

Peace in pieces plundered

No headstone unturned

No gravesite undisturbed

Eternal rest perturbed

Their respite undeserved

We haven't learned

So every monument must be overturned

Splatter these sepulchres spurned

Leave no fucking headstone unturned

No headstone unturned

These icons belong shattered and spurned

Respect for the dead is what we must unlearn

Until every monument is battered and burned

Their legacy must never return

So every monument must be overturned

Spatter their sanctity unearned

Leave no fucking headstone unturned
