Altar of Worms Lyrics by Corpsessed

The Dagger and the Chalice

2013

Beholding your rigid limbs
Fixed on a crucifix
Centerpiece of my shrine
A corpse... Embodiment of death
Layers of humanity
Slowly deteriorate
Into morbid forms
Skeletal grotesquery
My altar - of rotting flesh
Icon of foul deeds
My worship - of endless death
Praise on your knees!
Yet in death the corpse
Squirms with new life
Maggots gnaw the flesh
To the bone
Biological Iconoclasm!
Amass the larvae
Into a Chalice
A twitching eucharist
For the congregation
Altar of worms
