Lying there cold after a torturous death
Your life ended fast you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
The maggots infest your disfigured face
Pus through your veins takes the place of blood
Decay sets in, bones begin to crack
Thrown six feet down left to rot
Brains oozing black down the side of your broken neck

Skull full of maggots

They enter your tomb, maggots, beginning to feast, maggots
Crawling on you, maggots, now they eat you, maggots
Rotting maggots, maggots, infesting your corpse, maggots
Parasites of the dead, maggots, now dwell in your head

Lying there cold after a torturous death
Your life ended fast you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
The maggots infest your disfigured face
Pus through your veins takes the place of blood
Decay sets in, bones begin to crack
Thrown six feet down left to rot
Brains oozing black down the side of your broken neck

    General Comment:octobersnackbar, if you don't like it, why are you commenting

    The people who like Cannibal Corpse don't give a fuck what you think.

    Listen to whatever you listen to and we will listen to what we listen to.

    and seeing as how many times you posted the same comment, your the one who needs to look at life and ask what the hell went wrong.

    They enter your tomb-maggots-beginning to

    General Comment:Metalheads, listen up: your bands are artless and laughable. Your scene is composed of antisocial misfits, pretentious stoners, and moronic sociopaths. You look ridiculous to the outside world, your supposed angst and darkness and brutality are downright comedic, and you are walking punchlines for those of us with standards. Get a life, nerds.
