Flowering Cadaver Lyrics - Tourniquet

Hidden deep in the Sumatran jungle 

Lives the mystical titan arum 

The natives call it bunga bangkai 

A behemoth among all plants 

Strange enough that years pass before it even flowers 

Stranger still that the flower emits the putrid stench of rotting flesh 

Bunga bangkai, bunga bangkai 

Like the titan arum, you only show your good side every few years 

On the inside like a rotting corpse, on the outside like a flowering cadaver 

The heart is wicked and deceitful 

Magnificent spectral florescence hides the inner sinful man 

Jungle Orphan Hindered At Noon Never Peering Out - Calmly Hovers Over Nusa Tenggara 

Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing 

Out of the same heart comes beauty and ugliness 

The very thing that I want to do, I end up doing the opposite 

Out of the same mouth comes building up and tearing down 

Out of the same heart comes kindness and cruelty 

The very thing that I want to do, I end up doing the opposite 

Bunga bangkai - flowering cadaver
