A Skull Full of Maggots Lyrics by Cannibal Corpse

Live Cannibalism

1989

[Chorus]
Lying there cold after torturous death
Your life ended fast, you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
Maggots infest disfigured face
Pus through your veins takes the place of blood
Decay sets in, bones begin to crack
Thrown six feet down, left to rot
Brains oozing black down the side of broken neck
[Bridge]
Skull full of maggots
[Verse]
They enter your tomb (Maggots)
Beginning to feast (Maggots)
Crawling on you (Maggots)
Now they eat you (Maggots)
Rotting maggots (Maggots)
Infesting your corpse (Maggots)
Parasites of the dead (Maggots)
Now dwell in your head
[Chorus]
Lying there cold after torturous death
Your life ended fast, you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
Maggots infest disfigured face
Pus through your veins takes the place of blood
Decay sets in, bones begin to crack
Thrown six feet down, left to rot
Brains oozing black down the side of broken neck
