Exhume to Consume Lyrics
9 ContributorsExhume to Consume LyricsThe title roughly translates to âDigging up a corpse for the purpose of eating it.âGrimly I dig up the turfs
To remove the corrupted stiffs
Trying to contain my excitement
As I desecrate graveolent crypts
Fingers claw at coffin lids
Eager festal exhumation
Hugging your wry, festered remains
With posthumous joy and elation
Body snatched, freshly interred
Whatever takes my fancy
To satisfy my gratuitous pica
My culinary necromancy
Scrutinised then brutalised
My forensic inquisition is fulfiled
My recipe is now your epitaph
Be it fried, boiled or grilled
I devour the pediculous corpse
Whetting my palate as I exhume
The festering stench of rotting flesh
Makes me drool as I consume
Caskets I grate
My larder's a grave
I'm sickly obsessed (with the badly decomposed)
Rotten remains I eat
Purulent meat
What a funeral feast (putrid reek)
Weeping tissue is stripped
Pus dribbles from my lips
Pulverising this pustular chaff
Butchering up morgues makes me laugh
Ulcerated flesh I munch
Rotting corpses are my lunch
On bones I love to crunch (on the badly decomposed)
Shrivelled innards I lick
The corpse's head I kick
Crumbling shreds I pick (eat the stiffs)
Rancid flesh, slaughter the dead
Caskets exhumed
Corpses disinterred, graves disturbed
To consume
Bereaved relatives are not amused
As on their dear departed I feverishly consume
Slavering worms, decomposure burns
Corrosion born, as bacteria gnaw
Desecrate...
Precipitate... (from the muddy grave)
Macerate...
Eviscerate...
Caskets I grate
My larder's a grave
I'm sickly obsessed (with the badly decomposed)
Rotten remains I eat
Purulent meat
What a funeral feast (putrid reek)
Saponified fats, nibbled by rats
Freshly exhumed
Deep down six feet is where I like to eat
Human flesh to consume
Empathological Necroticism Lyrics
7 ContributorsEmpathological Necroticism LyricsBloodied, torn and twisted
Severe mutilation is all that remains
Stagnating in shrink-wrap
Empty the contents onto the mortuary slab
The morbid, muted body
Is dissected, lacerated and shred
Life is hard as a mortuary technician
The fumes go straight to my head
The trunk now depleting gristle
With bactericidal decay
This discissed disarticulation
I bludgeon as I ablate
Diluted spittle, bile and gore
Congealing puddles on the floor
Grotesquely dismembered
As the cavities I harshly sever
Stabbing at the trachea, chest with walls I puncture
Slicing back flesh I tear, subject to malacia
Advanced rigor mortis, the corpse internally bruised
Kaleidoscope livor mortis, the carcass a shade of livid blue
Joints are stiffened, I now bend and crack
The cerebrum pulped, with cranial collapse
Bodily embalmed
And fluids tapped
Maceration is oozing
As the insides I unwrap
Finished with the fragments
A mass of stinking waste
Spread-eagled bloody mess
I hastily eviscerate
Advanced pyarthrosis
Let there be rot (fun in the morgue)
Foul autodigestion
Necrotic mutation
The gaping chest is crudely stitched up
Internal organs are hastily replaced
The carnage totally disfigured
Another pathological waste
Flowing blood crusts
The corpse is totally rotten to the core
The miserable, festering stiff
I dismember with my saw
The wounds are stitched, I shabbily try to repair
Disintegrating with histolycis and everyday wear and tear
"Cadaveric dissolution, sliced, ripped and deceased
Eructated gases are gurgling as they bleed
Congested pus, blood and autodigested gore
Tissue corrodes as aggression gnaws"
The mortuary table
I now wipe, sponge and clean
Washing away the remains of life
The slab now gleams
The evaporating reek of putrefaction
Gets right up my nose
Carnage, chunks and leftover pieces
In the bin I dispose
Advanced pyarthrosis
Let there be rot (fun in the morgue)
Foul autodigestion
Necrotic mutation
Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment Lyrics
[Guitar solo]
Stagnant placenta and smelly fluids
The stiffening dead babe's crib
Disembowelling and gutting
Grating bone and rib
Fragile limbs pulverised
Dismemberment is so cruel
Soggy organs and paturient broth
Give piquance to this sickly gruel
Mixing together post-natal juices
The dead infant used as stock
Slurping this horrendous concoction
Eat the cervical slop
Lading our aborted derbis
Oozing guts chomped in your maw
The caesating premature baby
Nurtured in post-partum gore
Drink bile from a cup
Gulp its phlegm from a pot
Eat mucus on a saucer
Choke on embryonic clots
(Pasteurised foetus goulash)
[Guitar solo]
Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites Lyrics
[Guitar solo]
Your rump sustaining hostile organisms
Mould, eggs and larvae
Peptonized spleen, liver and kidneys
A wasting, degenerate slime
Septicemic mutation
Of rancid meat and writhing life
Psychedelic, pustular platter of gunge
Come and take a bite
[Guitar solo]
Dormant fungoid growths
On the smarting human host
Come bathe, cleanse and wash
With livor mortis and dry rot
Lice and ticks
Flesh matted with hatching spawn
Endo-parasites incubate in the warmth
Mortician's implements to tap and bleed
The swarming insects seed
Lice and ticks, expel bloody sick
Leathery skin bubbles as blue-bottles hatch
Maggot infestation turns the rotting corpse black
Slushy bowels move as our friends squirm
Flatulent belches- - dry, festered and warm
Maggot Colony Lyrics
5 ContributorsMaggot Colony LyricsThis song is part two of a scene started in the previous track, âRegurgitation of Giblets.â
It is continued (and debatably concluded) in the following track, âPyosisified (Rotten to the Gore).âOozing chyme reeks as your duodenum is hacked
Secreting gastric juices, enzymes melt your faecal tract
Torn major arteries, your corpse with blood is drenched
Your mouth is ripped inside-out as your oesophagus is wrenched
Maggots and grubs bore into the mouldy remains
Masticating lymph, caked blood and cankered decay
Maturating brains play host to the grisly fĂȘte
Stuffed anal passage, served on a plate
Purulent torso is a perfect maggots' meal
Spilt cerebrospinal fluid is sucked up with zeal
Botulism vitiates the emulsifying bile
Liquidized gall bladder, viscid pus smells vile
Pyosisified (Rotten to the Core) Lyrics
5 ContributorsPyosisified (Rotten to the Gore) LyricsThis song is part three of a scene started in the albumâs second track.
âPyosisâ is the formation of pus. We can imagine what âpyosisified' means based on our knowledge of suffixes, but the word is not in⊠Read More The lingering scirrhus begins to harden
As the insides fall prey to putrefaction
Rotting tissue turns to mush and pulp
As your mind is torn by encephalitis
Your cavities rot with ulcers
Your infected inflammations torn
Your gizzards eaten by incursive decay
You're infernally rotten to the gore
Juices digested from each pus-swollen pore
Insatiable hunger as I feast on the gore
Nothing gives me greater pleasure
Than a bowl full of chyme
Maggot infested kidneys
Are what I choose every time
The smell of plaguing infection
Is nauseatingly emetic
Prolonged spumescence of stale pus
Stinks like hot, putrid vomit
Your body is indurate
The insides are black as tar
Your innards gnawed by septic hate
Now a mass of empyaema
Your blood is caked
Dried and inconsistent
Your bloody rotten gore
Is now vitrescent
Feast on Dismembered Carnage Lyrics
4 ContributorsFeast on Dismembered Carnage LyricsThe lyrics of this song have a different feel than the preceding tracks on the album, with grammatical errors, clunky style, nonsequitors, and a relative lack of jargon. Fans speculate this may have been⊠Read More Bodies dismembered, corpses desecrated
Carcasses liquidized and minced with hatred
Brains are splattered, strewn limbs and heads
Blood has been spurted as the arteries were shredded
Eyes have been impaled, flayed skin in strips
Intestines and guts from the body have been ripped
Stench of sweet blood, bones have been crunched
Festering gore is eaten for lunch
Parasitic carnivorous carrion, your gastrointestinal tract
Your prey's cremator
Bloody neo-cannibalistic, bloodfeed masticator
Rigor sanguined fleshfeast, gorging on festered entrails and warm meat
Devouring cold offal, necro-sentient mortis feed
Mutilated organs, the meat-cleaver is raised
Falls to mash the head and rip up the face
Throats slit with vengeance, flesh stripped to the bone
Your death is terrible, painful and slow
Drooling palate
Terrible odorous mess
The repulsive stench
Of roasting flesh
Sterile carnage, dried sanguined personae desecration
Scooping out the entrails, violent entrail emancipation
The taste of violent gorge hot on your breath
Digesting the succulent corpse in your succous death
Splattered Cavities Lyrics
4 ContributorsSplattered Cavities LyricsTrack 15 on Carcass' debut album, Reek of Putrefaction (1988).Erupted thoracic savies -- serum, pus and offal
Perspiring ulcerous chancre splattered on your wall
Necro-cellular lesions --the stench of staining scabs
Scraped up by medics, and wrapped in plastic bags
Exploding pus and bile, abdominal saliva sprays
Coughing out your intestines, and rubbing them in your face
Carbuncles oozing sanguous, mortified entrails and rot
Pieced together for autopsy, in your wooden box
Frantic pelvic gut-wrench
Splattered guts and gore
Seeping disembowelment
Mopped up off the floor
Pelvic insides now rest in your perineum
Splattered gore seeping from your orifices like hot sebum
Pancreatic juices
Internal digestive mess
Acidic dripping spittle
And squelching moist flesh
Pulverized thoracic cavity
Your rib-cage is snapped
Rupturing internal organs
Crushed in your diaphragm
Your lungs are collapsed
As your abdominal cavity is splattered
Terminal back-ache paralysing
As your spine is shattered
Burnt to a Crisp Lyrics
4 ContributorsBurnt to a Crisp LyricsTrack 17 on Carcass' debut album, Reek of Putrefaction (1988).Torched to a pimple
Peeling skin and tissue
Inflammable rectal gases
Scalding your sinews
Charbroiled to blackened char
Smoked, sauted and black
Blistering flaking tissue
Insalvageable by skin graft
Fused into a mess
Dribbling cartilage and fumes
Your body shrivelling
Your fingers beginning to prune
Burnt to a cinder
Your body charred
Incinerated carbon
Molten as tar
Smouldering ashes
Scorched entrails
Carbonated dust
Cremated remains
Burnt to a crisp
Your fat's on fire
Devouring you whole
Like a cadaver-stoked pyre
Charred to the bone
Your flesh is burnt
Tissues molten
Bodily gases inert
Human inferno
Blazing eruption
Evaporating marrow
Spontaneous combustion
Burnt to a crisp
Your hair is singed
Devouring your scalp
Receding your fringe
Dripping flesh and fat
Spreads like an irritating rash
Your fingers melting
As you vainly scratch
Pungent Excruciation Lyrics
4 ContributorsPungent Excruciation LyricsThis entire song is an extended image of the title.Sanguinary disinterment
Necrobiotic rash
Gnawing, throbbing anguish
The gullet is now mashed
Pungent excruciation
Flesh mummified by lice
Amputated contusion
Help yourself to a slice...
Contamination...
Strangulation...
Mutilation...
Gangrenous abscesses
Paralysis sets in
More carnage and bloodshed
And the reek of molten skin
Frenzied detruncation
Dispeptic, charred and black
Terminal putrescence
Psychotics carve and hack
Osteoporous enzymes release deadly secretions
As the clotted parasites devour the excretion
Emanation, suppuration -- blood starts to gush
My nocturnal dysentery is unleashed on this mush
Malignant Defecation Lyrics
4 ContributorsMalignant Defecation LyricsDried, rotting, flaking, rancid flesh
Crumbling tissue -- nothing left
Cancerous, mouldy, septic infestation
Smouldering decay of defecation
Your bowels now play host to pestilent decay
Waiting dormantly, it knows you're easy prey
See the corpse, smell the rot
Rigor mortis sets in like a frost
Lacerated arteries, entrails in a mess
The dry, stale smell of long-rotted flesh
See the corpse, smell the warmth
As its cold, grey insides fester and burn
The guts may melt, but the torso remains
As the jellified innards turn into methane
