To Become Earth Lyrics

Every living being
Obeys the natures law
To die and decompose
To become earth once more

Algor mortis fades
My corpse is cold and stiff
Cells self-destruct
The autolysis begins

Scavengers have gathered
To feast on my remains
Insects lay their eggs
For me to incubate

I putrefy!

Bloated appearance displays my cadaver
Putrid fumes fill the air

A pool of liquefied abdomen
The skull shows almost bare

Where my brains used to reside
Replaced with bacterial slime

Rot and pus nourish the fungi
Maggots hatch and start to thrive

Fluids purging from me infect the soil
Everything around me begins to spoil

And turn foul!

Only bones are left to show
I was from this world
Finally, I have gone the circle
And returned to nature

I have been set free
Of my earthly burdens
I have degraded
Into the simplest matter

I have decayed
My soul left in dismay
I have become one
With the earth below

I have become one
With the earth below
