lyrics - Ross Sewage
|
|
Feared by dogmatics and systematically oppressed
|
Science my crime, medicine I confess
|
Bearers of ignorance put a halt to my work
|
For in the coronal plane is where I would lurk
|
Forced underground, six feet deep is precise
|
A labour for knowledge by my own device
|
Maggots and worms my constant companions
|
Pillaging crypts and defiling their coffins
|
|
Archaic alchemists must be put to rest
|
Notions of prima matter I'll test
|
When the casket's exhumed and I've broken the seal
|
It's surely just flesh and blood I'll reveal
|
|
A nidorous air pervades through my lab
|
A noxious bi-product of the stiff on the slab
|
I meticulously sketch the skins contours and grains
|
Then probe sub-cutaneously for arteries and veins
|
Methodical excision to lay bare the bones
|
For understanding of anatomical unknowns
|
Though necrosis makes the facts harder to confer
|
I'm proud to be a cadaverous cartographer
|
|
Slicing through mortal shells
|
Discerning the secrets they tell
|
Engaged in necrology
|
Gross anatomy
|
|
Surgery on fresh human corpses
|
A putrid employ to read what the gore says
|
Knowledge my aim, blasphemes they claim
|
Negating all their spiritual discourses
|
|
(solo: "Qu©ˇ Prosunt Omnibus Artibus" by S.C. McGrath)
|
|
Retractors split open the chest cavity
|
Ocular scopes provide a glimpse into humanity...
|
Inhumanity
|
|
Excavations are clear
|
There is no soul here
|

(solo: "The Vitruvian Man" by S.C. McGrath)
|
(solo: "Encyclop©ˇdia Anatomica" by A.S. LaBarre)
|
|
A labyrinth of nerves and muscles explored
|
Their designs in my necronomicon are stored
|
Spinal tendrils extend through all planes
|
Cognition lies not in the heart but the brain
|
Visceral gears are each recorded and weighed
|
A corporeal blueprint for mankind I have made
|
Surrounded by disemboweled organs, it would seem
|
We are all nothing but organic machines
|
|
Slicing through mortal shells
|
Discerning the secrets they tell
|
Engaged in necrology
|
Gross anatomy
