The Inevitable Degradation Of Flesh

I have come to you that you may heal my corpse Permit me to go down into the earth forever Such as he who will not be ravaged May I not become corrupt May my ka ascend aloft may it descend only after it has perished Such is he who is decayed All his bones are corrupt His flesh is slain his bones are softened His body is made into foul water His degradation stinks and he turns into many worms When he is sent to the eye of shu Every mortal is thus All those who live will die All who die shall rot Do not give me over to the slayer who lurks inside Who rots the hidden one Who decomposes corpses Who does what has been commanded I have awakened in perversion and dread I possess not my body I have become corrupt decayed putrid Worms gorge upon me Maggots infest my organs Vermin gnaw my skull My eyes have been eaten my ears are deaf Rotten flesh falls from my bones My head has romeved itself form my neck My tongue taken away My hair has been cut off my eyebrows stripped I have become what I abhor --- The Inevitable Degradation of Flesh - Nile
