[Musick - Mike Beams, Lyrixxx - Matt Harvey]
All the world's indeed a corpse, and we are merely maggots
Dead on arrival is our only course, and if the toe fits, tag it
Sycophants, we're writhing blind, feeding off each others' regurgitation
Disgorging whatever waste we find, breeding our degradation with each
exhalation...
Lambs to the slaughter
Feast of fools upon the fodder
No trompe l'oreil to behold
Just a wretched drama to unfold...
Gnarled within this mortal coil
Within which the voracious feebly toil
Enamored of our own disease
We revel in our own grotesqueries...
Dissecting ourselves to find nothing alive
Just a mass of perversely animated pieces
Nothing within worthwhile to revive
We're mired knee-deep in our own fetid feces
Gorging our gnawing jaws with our own pathological waste
Like grubs wriggling in the rank feast of decay
We grind our own bones into dust each futile step we take
As we inch unseeing through day after day...
Consumer or consumed
We all end up as chyme and grume
Upon the fetid mass we choke
Leaving us in no position to appreciate the sick joke...
Twisted through this mortal coil
Now our unctuous desserts are brought to a boil
Somewhere between the living and the deceased
We gag on the feast of our grotesqueries...
[Lead - Mike]
Too consumed by consumption to see our own ends
We're all dead and only getting deader
Digging our own graves into which we gladly descend
In this cold coil we're shackled and fettered
As we ingest each others' waste, in a frenzied feeding rush
Leaving everything sick and dead in our wake
Devouring each other in ravening, unheeding crush
As we gorge ourselves on all the tripe and offal we can intake...
Crass menagerie
Eschatological estuary
We create each others' atrocities
In this grotesquery
Asphyxiated by this mortal coil
Reaping rancid fruits long since despoiled
Until our depraved lives at last surcease
We'll hunger for more grotesqueries...
The lyrics GROTESQUERIES of EXHUMED is also present in the album Anatomy is destiny (2003)
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).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
