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
 Regeneration
 When life has adjourned
 Insect infestation
 Our favors are returned
 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 spring 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
 Transform to liquefaction
 Make all nature whole
