I scrawled an ode to this mortal coil
In scarlet upon your back
I gnarled in code with dreadful toil
A parting verse so black...
Ivory skin streched out before me
In frozen fields of pallid grace
Livid eyes rolled back and silently implored me
From out of your jaundiced face
Carving in crimson with scalpel and rasp
Sculpturing your flesh into your epitaph
Your corpse tells its tale in blood, pus and grume
Spilling out secrets you should take to your tomb
A carnal epitaph perhaps best left unheard
The time has come to mince more than words
Parting words don`t often cut this deep
Engraved on your back, the secrets we`ll keep
Though you`ll never read these empty words
Upon the slab you lie so still
They don`t cut as deep as you deserve
Poetic licence to hack, maim, and kill...
The porcelain flesh that enshrouds you remains
Were both my parchment and my muse
Now incarnadined hand I penned these lines
As best I could well manage
I cruelly carved out these designs
What words are worth in tissue damage...
Carving in crimson with scalpel and rasp
Sculpturing your flesh into your epitaph
Your corpse tells its tale in blood, pus and grume
Spilling out secrets you should take to your tomb
A carnal epitaph perhaps best left unheard
The time has come to mince more than words
Parting words don`t often cut this deep
Engraved on your back, the secrets we`ll keep...
The lyrics CARNAL EPITAPH of EXHUMED is also present in the album Slaughtercult (2000)
Exhumed è una band di death metal americana proveniente da San Jose, California. Fondata nel 1990 dal quindicenne Matt Harvey, l'unico membro rimasto dall'epoca della formazione originale, la band ha trascorso gran parte del decennio successivo a registrare demo, split CD ed EP. Il loro album d'esordio, "Gore Metal", uscito nel 1998, è stato un punto di svolta per il genere, definendo una fusione tra death metal old-school e grindcore che era già emersa durante le registrazioni del loro ultimo demo ("Horrific Expulsion of Gore") e del primo split CD ("In the Name of Gore"). L'album ha ricevuto critiche contrastanti ma ha consolidato la posizione di Exhumed nel panorama underground metal. Nel corso degli anni, la band ha continuato a registrare album e tour, mantenendo un sound brutale e aggressivo che ha influenzato numerose altre band del genere. Tra i loro album più noti figurano "All Guts No Glory" (2002) e "Death Revenge" (2014).
