The Dead Only Quickly Lyrics

Priests and fools say

We are but animate clay
Rude vessels
Housing immortal souls

But the dead only quickly decay

They don't go about being born and reborn
And rising and falling like soufflé

The dead only quickly decay

It would be swell

To see some folk burn in hell

But when they go
It's just pleasant to know

That the dead only quickly decay
