Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blood soaked earth
Shall lift this curse
To witness your death
I rid you of your flesh

Piles of the deceased
This glorious putridity
A masterpiece of flesh
Behold my structure of death

Remnants of your death
I soon will embed
Into this beautiful monstrosity
Leaving only entrails in my wake




Such a sight to behold
My monolith of flesh
