lyrics

Open the earth
raise up an epitaph
so your loss
has the meaning ascribed

Lay him in a box
obscured in shroud
lower the coffin
interred in sacred ground

Dissolve
in foetor
dissolve
leave life behind

Black veiled mourners gather
around the fresh dug grave
hymns and prayers offered
in ritual of ascension

Open up the holy texts
benediction for the dead
recite the words of scripture
throw dirt onto the casket

Your prayers are worthless
as relics clutched
in lifeless hands
of the faithful ones

Rot away
in the earth
under crumbling rememberance
the maggots feed

Erase your existence
flesh to bone to dust
you are forgotten
and there is no heaven

Pall is drowned in the earth
sealed, forever to rest
the bereaved depart
crippled in their denial
