Into The Soil - Defeated Sanity

Open casket, a ritual of death

In the name of human vanity

One last gaze upon the deceased

A desperate clinging to the mortal vessel

Morbid reality kept away from civilized society

An induced image of peaceful rest displayed to the mourners

Postmortal cosmetics

Enhancing the body’s presentation

Scars concealed, eyes sewn shut

Tampering with nails and hair of the dead

Blood displaced by formaldehyde

Bloating the emaciated corpse to a near vital shape

Almost lifelike color is restored

Conclusion to the service

Human doll is now lowered into the soil

Contaminated, eggs hatch in orifices

Within, sweet fumes linger

Embalment will start to lapse

Eventually rendering tissue defenseless

Vital, activity

Shows in the necrotic body

Fluid’s effects fail

Maggots find their way

Domain of decay

Slowly eaten away

Fluid’s effects fail

Maggots find their way

Domain of decay

Slowly eaten away

Chemical expulsion

Part human sludge is purged

Body shrinks as maggots finish their meal

«Dead, stiff and cold, in your box, to decay»
