As Your Casket Closes - Ghoul

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!!!
