Body feels cold to touch
The surface and internally
Decomposition begins
The start of lividity
Rigor in the face
Jaw and muscles of the neck
Arms and trunk then legs
Thirty six hours it's left
Green staining
On flanks of abdomen
Begins to distend
Then marbling
Blisters burst...turning black
Insects attack...turning black
Fingers and toenails loosen and shed
Hair loosens and falls away
Tissues soften and liquefy
Face you couldn't identify
Doctors cut away at your corpse
Hacking away to find the cause
Stench of horribly decayed flesh
Spiritual body well at rest
The surface and internally
Decomposition begins
The start of lividity
Rigor in the face
Jaw and muscles of the neck
Arms and trunk then legs
Thirty six hours it's left
Green staining
On flanks of abdomen
Begins to distend
Then marbling
Blisters burst...turning black
Insects attack...turning black
Fingers and toenails loosen and shed
Hair loosens and falls away
Tissues soften and liquefy
Face you couldn't identify
Doctors cut away at your corpse
Hacking away to find the cause
Stench of horribly decayed flesh
Spiritual body well at rest
