Carnal Epitaph Lyrics - Exhumed

I scrawled an ode to this mortal coil 

In scarlet upon your back 

I gnarled in code with dreadful toil 

A parting verse so black... 

Ivory skin streched out before me 

In frozen fields of pallid grace 

Livid eyes rolled back and silently implored me 

From out of your jaundiced face 

Carving in crimson with scalpel and rasp 

Sculpturing your flesh into your epitaph 

Your corpse tells its tale in blood, pus and grume 

Spilling out secrets you should take to your tomb

A carnal epitaph perhaps best left unheard 

The time has come to mince more than words 

Parting words don`t often cut this deep 

Engraved on your back, the secrets we`ll keep 

Though you`ll never read these empty words 

Upon the slab you lie so still 

They don`t cut as deep as you deserve 

Poetic licence to hack, maim, and kill... 

The porcelain flesh that enshrouds you remains 

Were both my parchment and my muse 

Now incarnadined hand I penned these lines 

As best I could well manage 

I cruelly carved out these designs 

What words are worth in tissue damage... 

Carving in crimson with scalpel and rasp 

Sculpturing your flesh into your epitaph 

Your corpse tells its tale in blood, pus and grume 

Spilling out secrets you should take to your tomb
