Terminal condition, rampant infection spread too far -
leaving many scars
Cadaverous contagion, to necrotize, slash, and mar - blood
now black as tar
Repugnant epidemic, deadened hearts beat as one - keeping
time with death's drum
The rotting now systemic, the end at last must come - now
the grue starts to run
A global funeral, a worldwide wake
Lay it all to rest, for the worms to take
Experiment that failed, we now must help it die
And let our death knell now decry:
Sic transit gloria mortem
So passes the glory of death
Sic transit gloria mortem
So long unrecognized, dying once disguised as life - on the
edge of a knife
But lift the putrid veil, beyond the pale and see the light
- existence wrought with strife
A shattered hope undone, the dead were taught they'd none to
serve - a brutal lesson unlearned
They then enthroned, 'pon their own bones the masters that
they deserved - for a gravesite reserved
A global funeral, a worldwide wake
Lay it all to rest, for the worms to take
Experiment that failed, we now must help it die
And let our death knell now decry:
Sic transit gloria mortem
So passes the glory of death
Sic transit gloria mortem
So passes the glory - of death...
For the glory of death - so many caskets were nailed
For the glory of death - so many bloody banners were hailed
For the glory of death - so many putrefying years
For the glory of death - we present an anthem to fall on
dead ears
Sign the death certificate, tag the toe, close the box - and
let it rot
Place this vile grotesquery in the vault and turn the lock -
and pray it's forgot
Misshapen and horrendous, filthy, diseased, and impure - a
necrotopia obscure
Better off reduced to ash thus its extinction assured - but
bury it deep, to be sure
A global funeral, a worldwide wake
Lay it all to rest, for the worms to take
Experiment that failed, we now must help it die
And let our death knell now decry:
Sic transit gloria mortem
So passes the glory of death
Sic transit gloria mortem
So passes the glory - of death...
