Death Knell - Exhumed

Purulent portents augur decrepit demise

A tumescent terminus draws near

Sloughing skin, boils erupt before your very eyes

Carbuncles and lesions appear

Wracked with infection — excruciated

An affliction which will not abate

Eczemic flesh stripped away — excoriated

A fetid, disease-ridden fate

Moribund, vomiting blood

All over the hospital floor

Not long for this earth, it only gets worse

Physiognomy ridden with sores

Rendered grotesque, thorax fills with cess

Suffering until your demise

Corrode from within, sepsis sets in

Innards begin to liquefy

Too late, face fate- Await, death’s gate

Sound the death knell — Sound the death knell

Overripe omens ooze out of your maw

Excrescent expectorate expunged

Sallowed skin, blistered and raw

Hacking up bits of clot-caked gunge

Riddled with welts — suppurated

Day by day this decay sprays it’s filth

Drain the pus into pans — intubated

Discharging bloody, pyomorphic swill

Feculent, purulent

Rampant infection now grown out of hand

Nauseated, expectorated

Bits of innards floating in your bedpan

Too late, face fate- Await, death’s gate

Sound the death knell — Sound the death knell

Disgusting yourself, you turn inside out

Epidermal revulsion takes hold

Prognosis is grim, there can no more doubt

You’re soon to be stiff, dead and cold

Vital organs spew forth — regurgitated

Prolapse of bowels, sinew and crud

Sanguineous breath — asphyxiated

Esophagus torn, drown in your own blood

Violent death, terminal breath

The hospital bed now a gore-soaked grave

Your execrable corpse, taken down to the morgue

Fodder for pathologists depraved

Too late, face fate- Await, death’s gate

Sound the death knell — Sound the death knell
