How Very Dead

Carotid artery pierced
 Now the ritual can begin
 Our patient yet alive
 But not for long
 Formalin injection
 Indeed, it's overkill
 Curiosity has bested me
 A void that must be filled
 With lurid scenes of carnage
 Inflicting both fear and pain
 The thing about this doctor
 Not only am I in but I'm insane
 Out with the old
 In with the new
 Usurped a siege within you
 Constructs of tissue torn apart
 To spoil what's next
 I don't have the heart
 Violent convulsions
 From the mouth, you're foaming red
 Transmission of all the oxygen
 Has ceased, in moments you'll be dead
 It's not what you'd expected
 When you came to me for help
 My overlooked credentials
 A Hippocratic oath I'd sworn in hell
 Internal organ failure
 Excruciating pain
 Observing deftly
 As formaldehyde doth fill your veins
 You will not survive
 Out with the old
 In with the new
 Usurped a siege within you
 Constructs of tissue torn apart
 How very dead
 You were from the start
 Stiff
 Your body hardening
 From the inside out
 Bleak
 The outlook' not so good
 Your will can't save you now
 Cruelly, your life has been defiled
 ♪
 Out with the old
 In with the new
 Usurped a siege within you
 Constructs of tissues torn apart
 Embalming, truly an art
 My art
 Enjoy now your beauty sleep
