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
