[musick & lyrixxx - Matt Harvey, 1997]

|
In the dissection of flesh and the sawing of bone, I've coaxed confessions
|
from the lips of the dead, Postmortem scrutiny that has clinically shone, The
|
horrifying facts that would have never been said... Unbosoming their secrets
|
in the sickening results of their demise, Stomaching these wretched human
|
riddles, I carve, hack and slice, Illuminating the dusty skeletons that lurk
|
in closets, bones and entrails, Enduring the ghastly visage of violent death
|
in my forensic travails... Whether in pieces or completely decomposed, I asses
|
with clinical indifference, The remnants of a life which grisly circumstance
|
has brought to this office, Ensuring that truth shall endure after the flesh
|
has crumbled and rotted away, Elucidating atrocities and carnage, the
|
thankless job I perform day after day... Persistent incisions that cut to the
|
quick are my stock in trade, To scrutinize what remains of a life,
|
painstaking effort will have to be made, At times both evidence and flesh are
|
profoundly encrypted and shred, It can be murder to pry answers from the
|
mouths of the dead... A gutted torso can pose a bevy of answerless questions
|
to deliberate, Probing with a scalpel, I expose the morbid cavity that I now
|
must eviscerate, Unlocking death's mysteries with my forceps, tweezers and
|
saw, Wringing revelations from a fibula, fossa or jaw... Recording
|
confessions that are uttered without making a sound, From informants long dead
|
that I've culled from the ground, Beneath the pallid veil of cold flesh or
|
enshrouded in the shredded remains of a face, Exhuming the truth is my
|
occupation, no matter how decrepit its resting place... Within the bowels of a
|
horribly mutilated corpse or a splattered brain, Picking apart flesh and
|
deceit ¡±til only the cold facts remain, Dead men will tell tales if you know
|
how to listen and learn, Even when they've been stabbed, beaten, shot, hacked
|
up and burned... This morbid quest for knowledge is not without its rewards,
|
Much can be extrapolated from a decrepit infants gourd, My bureau's a slab, my
|
text is a corpse, and I've studied with sincere, ardent fervor, And found that
|
often man's inhumanity to man is all to well deserved...
