So Let It Be Rotten So Let It Be Done Lyrics

Desensitized to the necrotized, a trompe-l'oeil made zombified

Mocking death mask for the mortified -deformed

Repellant rite now sanctified, pallid parody of the putrefied

In formaldehyde death now baptized - reborn

The sickening sight now sanitized

In celebration of the demised

Death unrevealed - decay clumsily disguised

But behind the lurid, leering eyes

Decomposition will arise

So let it be rotten - so let it be done

Behind the shroud decrepitude begun

So let it be rotten - so let it be done

So let it be rotten

So let it be rotten - so let it be done

So let it be rotten

[Lead – Matt]

[Lead – Wes]

Immured deep within the absurd, beyond the pale obscenely blurred

Rigor mortis sets in undeterred - putrescent

Embalmed in lugubrious repose, as from within you decompose

Unmoved by orchid, lily, or rose - quiescent

The distasteful scent lurks just beneath

The truth of death lay out of reach

It's cold caress - would curdle funeral wreaths

But beyond the mendacious mask you'll see

Putrefaction's perfidy

So let it be rotten - so let it be done

Within the casket, decay has claimed it's throne

So let it be rotten - so let it be done

Death worms it's way into the corpse it's work begun

So let it be rotten – let it be done
