Food For The Worms Lyrics - Blood In, Blood Out - Exodus

There is no afterlife 

We all just decompose 

No Heaven's pearly gates 

Just tags upon our toes 

A slow putrescence 

From the time the life is shorn 

Feast for the maggots 

Reborn 

Wet and adipocerous 

Our flesh turns in to wax 

Enter hypostasis 

Pale skin discolored black 

Regeneration 

When life has adjourned 

Insect infestation 

Our favors are returned 

When from this world we are unbound 

We're food for the worms 

When they plant me in the ground I'm 

Food for the worms 

The reaper beats at the gate of every man 

Lies fill the Bible, Tanakh and Quran 

It matters not which dogma you believe 

Our bodies are left to rot like fallen leaves 

The circle of life it marches on 

We fertilize the ground we walk upon 

Feast for the vultures' all that's left 

While hope spring eternal for the bereft 

The throes of rigor mortis 

Forensic certainty 

Heaven, Olam Ha-Ba 

Fairy tales of lunacy 

We're vessels for the larvae 

Not vessels for the soul 

Transform to liquefaction 

Make all nature whole 

Food for the worms
