Ghoul - As Your Casket Closes lyrics

As your casket closes listen
To the living weep
Their tears are such cold comfort when
They bury you so deep
You think they cry for you that
They came to pay respects?
The living only weep because they
Know that they are next

Sobbing in their mourning clothes
A most impressive act
Rosaries and prayer to keep
Their fantasies intact
The parson mumbles fairy tales of
Heaven and of hell
But six feet down in potter's earth
Is where you'll really dwell

Your brain begins to ooze with
The secrets of the dead
As your casket closes
The darkness of the tomb
An eternity of dread
As your casket's covered feel the
Cruel hand of time
Ectoplasmic tendrils, enveloping in slime
Apparitions wail from the
Mould infested crypts
Skin begins to peel, turn to gelatin
And drip

Twisting roots imprison you
Your coffin starts to rot
Bound to this dimension
Though the chains you can see not
Timeless creeping horror
A nightmare with no end
The snails in your skull are
Your only earthly friends

Your brain begins to ooze with
The secrets of the dead
As your casket closes
The darkness of the tomb
An eternity of dread

You feel your eyeballs melting as
You start to decompose
They burst inside the sockets and
Come running out your nose
Sacs of pus erupt in
Places better left unmentioned
Bloated bowels surrendering all
Powers of retention
Drooling fat congeals into pudding
In your crypt beetles nest in ear canals and
Munch on waxy drips maggots feed on viscera
A swirling toxic stew
There's no one here to blame it on
That odor came from you

As your casket opens you
See four hooded freaks
Laughter in the moonlight, horrifying shrieks
Two hundred years you've been
Rotting in this grave
And now you will awaken to
Become a willing slave

Injecting numbskull
Your brain begins to boil
Your body quivers in the funeral soil
Replacing spinal fluid, sucking at our drool
Your afterlife is over
Welcome to your life with Ghoul!
As your casket closes
