Food for the Worms

There is no afterlife We all just decompose No Heaven's pearly gates Just tags upon our toes A slow putrescence From the time the life is shorn Feast for the maggots Reborn Wet and adipocerous Our flesh turns in to wax Enter hypostasis Pale skin discolored black Regenration When life has adjourned Insect infestation Our favors are returned [Chorus]: When from this world we are unbound We're food for the worms When they plant me in the ground I'm Food for the worms The reaper beats at the gate of every man Lies fill the Bible, Tanakh and Quran It matters not which dogma you believe Our bodies are left to rot like fallen leaves The circle of life it marches on We fertilize the ground we walk upon Feast for the vultures' all that's left While hope springs eternal for the bereft The throes of rigor mortis Forensic certainty Heaven, Olam Ha-Ba Fairy tales of lunacy We're vessels for the larvae Not vessels for the soul Tramsform to liquefaction Make all nature whole Food for the worms
