Even after death my bleak eyes can see

as the vermin consume my rotting flesh

devour what's left of me

A putrescent corpse lying here beneath the surface

My wretched body in necrosis

Rotting in this tomb as the skin falls from my bones

Maggots are feasting on my guts in rapture

Carve my wounds, weltering in my gore

Even after death my pale nose can smell

the scent of the sepulchral odour

that rises from my dismembered carrion

As the leeches revel inside - putrefy me

The larvae that crawl underneath my putrid skin

are my only friends left in this world

And they are enjoying my company

as I slowly decompose

Remains of a life - what have I become?

Worms turn in my necrotic carcass

their caress raping my mind

Dead but dreaming, oh divine celestial decay

in putridity I drown

Here The Flesh Is Put To Rest

Remains of a life
