Carneous Cacoffiny Lyrics

Striking up my discordant underture
A carnal cacophony perversely penned
Transposed...and decomposed
On strings fashioned from human twine
Lovingly wound and fretted upon my bow
Garishly incarcerated...the dead resonate
In a final death-throe

Vibrant as I thresh...
Movements scripted for the dead...

Orchestral horrors I vehemently conduct
My corpus concertos cordial
Disinterred... and detuned
With six feet below
In harmony with the deceased
My inspiration...your disintegration
For my latest masterpiece

My scope creeps your flesh...
Notes seep from sinewy frets...

But don't hold your breath
As you wait for your god or the void
Or the abyss of nothingness
Your usefulness isn't through
Your productivity I resume...

My sorbid, soiled handicrafts
Will be your afterlife's handicap....

...My corrupt crescendos...
...Will leave you out on a limbo...
...Your disposition I unleash...
...You will rest in my piece...

With deadly dynamics
You're dead, buried and barred
Your remains dampened and fingered
Your mortal coil is barbed
The death-bells are peeling
Ringing out as you flake
Shrieking out their recitals
A celebration of your wake...

Enter my funereality
My world two metres under
A curious habitat
Your muddy trench I plunder
Pass on to ethereality
Churned out under the sextant's blade
You live your life in wretchedness
And death is no escape...

Cover art for Carneous Cacoffiny lyrics by Carcass

Such wonderful lyrics, these are my personal favorite from Carcass, i'm pretty sure its about making and playing instruments made from human body parts.... always brings a smile to my face, and the main riff is so funny sounding, it just works so well

I think the same as the user above me. Awesome lyrics and riffage. Making insturments using body parts. Carcass was always a cut above the rest in the death metal world as far as what to DO with a dead body, especially on Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious, which describe several different uses for a corpse. That is one awesome album, from an awesome band!!
