This song’s title refers to something becoming so rotten that it bursts. The lyrics are about that very phenomenon, with lots of vivid imagery and an even denser vocabulary than is typical of this band.
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Bill Steer]
Miasmic fungus infests the small intestine
Vitriolic juices burn through the stomach wall
Bursting carcinosis as chylase melts your guts
Crepitating neoplasm erupts with gore
[Pre-Chorus 1: Jeff Walker]
Maturating boils, the canker emmenagogic
Grume decays to a frothing sludge
Dermatital pustules suppurate with cancer
Caustic sepsis coagulates the blood
[Chorus 1: Jeff Walker]
Necrolytic digestion, rancid plasma is released
Automaceration of the carcass incites pyogenesis
Globular tissue decomposed, hydrogen sulphide is evolved
Reek of putrefaction secreted by necrotrophic mould
[Verse 2: Bill Steer]
Excrete and disgorge the festering pus
As your skin erupts with corrosive decay
Urticaria vents infested sanies
Slime from burst ulcers spurts and sprays
[Pre-Chorus 2: Jeff Walker]
The innards decompose, putrify to jelly
The dermis ruptures with sialagogic cruor
Green putrified offal explodes with the discharge
Bubbling viscera is splattered over the floor
[Chorus 2: Jeff Walker]
Visceral organs infested by rampant hungry larvae
Gnawing tattered giblets as sanies solidifies
Enterisis dissolves the gut, self-digestion is undergone
Autolysis of body tissue, enzymes macerate the bones
[Bridge: Jeff Walker]
Tumours erupt
With infestation of grubs
Ulcerous carrion maturates
As the bacteria vitiates
[Outro: Jeff Walker]
Tumours erupt
With infestation of grubs
Effervescing core
Cankerous corpse
Cankerous corpse
