Ruptured in Purulence Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Bill Steer]
Miasmic fungus infests the small intestine
Vitriolic juices burn through the stomach wall
Bursting carcinosis as chylase melts your guts
Crepitating neoplasm erupts with gore

[Pre-Chorus 1: Jeff Walker]
Maturating boils, the canker emmenagogic
Grume decays to a frothing sludge
Dermatital pustules suppurate with cancer
Caustic sepsis coagulates the blood

[Chorus 1: Jeff Walker]
Necrolytic digestion, rancid plasma is released
Automaceration of the carcass incites pyogenesis
Globular tissue decomposed, hydrogen sulphide is evolved
Reek of putrefaction secreted by necrotrophic mould

[Verse 2: Bill Steer]
Excrete and disgorge the festering pus
As your skin erupts with corrosive decay
Urticaria vents infested sanies
Slime from burst ulcers spurts and sprays
[Pre-Chorus 2: Jeff Walker]
The innards decompose, putrify to jelly
The dermis ruptures with sialagogic cruor
Green putrified offal explodes with the discharge
Bubbling viscera is splattered over the floor

[Chorus 2: Jeff Walker]
Visceral organs infested by rampant hungry larvae
Gnawing tattered giblets as sanies solidifies
Enterisis dissolves the gut, self-digestion is undergone
Autolysis of body tissue, enzymes macerate the bones

[Bridge: Jeff Walker]
Tumours erupt
With infestation of grubs
Ulcerous carrion maturates
As the bacteria vitiates

[Outro: Jeff Walker]
Tumours erupt
With infestation of grubs
Effervescing core
Cankerous corpse
Cankerous corpse

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
