Grotesqueries


[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...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Exhumed is an American death metal band from San Jose, California. Formed in 1990 by fifteen-year-old Matt Harvey, the only remaining member from the original lineup, the band spent much of the following decade recording demos, split CDs, and EPs. Their debut album, "Gore Metal", released in 1998, was a turning point for the genre, defining a fusion of old-school death metal and grindcore that had already emerged during the recordings of their last demo ("Horrific Expulsion of Gore") and first split CD ("In the Name of Gore"). The album received mixed reviews but solidified Exhumed's position in the underground metal scene. Over the years, the band has continued to record albums and tour, maintaining a brutal and aggressive sound that has influenced numerous other bands in the genre. Among their most notable albums are "All Guts No Glory" (2002) and "Death Revenge" (2014).
