Artist: Cattle Decapitation

Album: The Harvest Floor

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Joshua Joseph Elmore, Davis James Mcgraw, Troy Leif Oftedal, Travis David Ryan

Flesh shall flay
Peeled back exposing the nutrients
Contents of mammal
Nutritious, delicious fruit

Stratified, squamous, keratinized epithelia dissected
Pseudo-stratified columnar
Uni-cellular goblets cells secreting mucus
Gored out

The flesh is ripened, ready to gorge
Visceral contents empty on the floor
Like a fine wine the organs disgorge
Victim lies begging but I'm wanting more
The pain is insane, a new anus is torn

Gaping slice opened wide, peeling rind
Bleeding, spurting everywhere
Now revealing the salty goodness
Beneath and flash frying it

Lancing meat, tender outside
Juicy inside, disgusts me
Chopping, dicing, scrutinizing
Dissecting and separating
A corpse is still a corpse
Of course we dine with no remorse

We've sharpened all the knives
To know the ripe that's beneath the rind
A blood lust curiosity, what makes these humans tick?
I've known it all my life

Blood, blood, blood, blood

Flesh shall flay
Peeled back exposing the nutrients
Contents of mammal
Nutritious, delicious fruit

Stratified, squamous, keratinized epithelia dissected
Pseudo-stratified columnar
Uni-cellular goblets cells secreting mucus
Gored out

And like a wild boar your head is hunted
And like a cantelope your head is opened
And like a pork belly your skin seared sterile
And underneath it lie the lies, the murder, the man, the meat
