Ecstacy In Decay Lyrics

Cannibal Corpse

Immense oceans of gore,
Rivers of pus,
Mountains of bones
Rapture,
Fester in filth,
Abnormal wealth, immersed in a world of decadence

Chorus:

Ecstacy in decay
Engrossed in
Deterioration
Penchant for extreme ordure
Pervading of viscera
Rejoice in grisly disgust

Exorbitant...
...Reality

One thousand years
Of compiled waste, frenzy in muck
Intoxicates!

Chorus

Exuberant castigation

Wading in bile, soaking in guts, ancient innards

Immense oceans of gore,
Rivers of pus,
Mountains of bones
Rapture,
Fester in filth, abnormal wealth,
Immersed in a world of decadence

Mind altered, eternally fetid cadaverous empire
Squelched domain
Swamped ruins, dismal necrotic incarnate metropolis
Lost dwelling

Exorbitant reality
Obfuscated ossuary

One thousand years of compiled waste, frenzy in muck intoxicates
