Broken Hope

Into The Necrosphere

Broken Hope


I work the graveyard shift, cadavers lay silently in wait 
My utensils are ready to perform degrading autopsies 
Through the sinews of dead flesh 
And within the dried marrow of old bones 
I have discovered the secrets of the dead 
Mercilessly I pit out what the dead cannot hide 
I become enlightened with a knowledge that makes me strong 
A power I now possess launches me into the afterworld 
Traveling paths in the innermost niches of putrefaction 
I will become a god of suppuration in this dead domain 
But to enter the putrid portal I must frantically carve 
Tediously I labor over crude necropsies, bizarre necrotomy 
My entire being soon liquefies as I cross over 
I take on the form of foul cadaverine 
Now through the perished, hardened veins I flow 
Immersed into the deceased where no life resides 
Except for wriggling fat white maggots filled with smegma and decay 
Apparitions haunt the viscera, my presence they avoid 
In terror they try so hard to hide 
Disappearing into the offal of the btchered 
When the dead go the way of all that is flesh 
And the burdensome mortal coil is shaken off 
Moving as I wish between the living and the dead 
Carcasses are tenements for all spectral souls 
An actual cosmos existing within a corpse 
The morticians could not fathom what I see 
Like a scalpel I cut my way through the necrosphere 
Plunging into the deepest recesses of the carrion 
They are unable to flee from my disembodied grasp 
The dead scream as I infernally enslave them 
Truly I am gifted, empowered with necromacy 
Originating in dead matter makes me necrogenic 
The interior decomposed membranes of the stiffs from a necrosphere 
Which has always remained unseen by mortal eyes 
Until I found the concealed secrets of the rot realm 
Now I am divine, the dead now worship me 
As if I am a god
