Exhumed - Carnal Epitaph Lyrics
I scrawled an ode to this mortal coilIn scarlet upon your backI gnarled in code with dreadful toilA parting verse so black...Ivory skin streched out before meIn frozen fields of pallid graceLivid eyes rolled back and silently implored meFrom out of your jaundiced faceCarving in crimson with scalpel and raspSculpturing your flesh into your epitaphYour corpse tells its tale in blood, pus and grumeSpilling out secrets you should take to your tombA carnal epitaph perhaps best left unheardThe time has come to mince more than wordsParting words don`t often cut this deepEngraved on your back, the secrets we`ll keepThough you`ll never read these empty wordsUpon the slab you lie so stillThey don`t cut as deep as you deservePoetic licence to hack, maim, and kill...The porcelain flesh that enshrouds you remainsWere both my parchment and my museNow incarnadined hand I penned these linesAs best I could well manageI cruelly carved out these designsWhat words are worth in tissue damage...Carving in crimson with scalpel and raspSculpturing your flesh into your epitaphYour corpse tells its tale in blood, pus and grumeSpilling out secrets you should take to your tombA carnal epitaph perhaps best left unheardThe time has come to mince more than wordsParting words don`t often cut this deepEngraved on your back, the secrets we`ll keep...
