“‘A Visceral Retch’ is a song that fans of The Somatic Defilement will latch onto immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with.

[Intro]
Consume
[Verse 1]
Consumed without a gasp, we gorge into the night as we dance
To the curdling whimper of pitiful man
Blasphemous, gluttonous
The belly begs for a moments rest, quick to reject, we still ingest
As the withered hole pleads to eject
[Chorus]
They cannot stomach the smell
Mangled innards wrench as they swell
An eternal song of visceral retch
The churns, they burn
Unnourished, brittle shell of man
[Breakdown]
Submit or consume the consumed
Hail the coprophagous and cannibalistic
Long for the flesh, compelled to eat shit
[Verse 2]
There's no distance our hymns won't reach
The gags of dissonance echo as they preach
Cold goes the waste, reluctant to taste
Now the mold is in bloom, insatiably they consume
Consume
[Chorus]
They cannot stomach the smell
Mangled innards wrench as they swell
An eternal song of visceral retch
The churns, they burn
[Bridge]
Bless the mess that rots in my gut
Behold the foul vessel erupt
[Outro]
Septic we bleed
Our seed breeds vermin
Appetite of the sick
Eviscerate to rid the taste
And be consumed once more
Eviscerate to rid the taste
Eviscerate, re-consume the waste
