The Casket of Roderick Usher Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Human flesh
Open earth
Prepare your burial, burial, burial
Prepare your burial, burial, burial

[Chorus]
This body cold and contagious
This body cold and contagious
This body cold and contagious
This body cold and contagious

This body cold and contagious
This body cold and contagious
This body cold and conta-gious

[Verse 2]
Breath with your face down
You scream without sound
Broken bones won't heal you
Sympathy turns to laughter
Laughter
Laughter
Laughter
(Prick your finger and bleed, give the poison to me)

[Bridge]
Unearthed hands of solitude
All over me
Torn apart by this cold self incision
So let it bleed, beware! beware!
(Open earth, prepare your burial)

Prepare your burial, burial, burial
Prepare your burial, burial, burial

[Chorus]
This body cold and contagious
This body cold and contagious

This body cold and contagious
This body cold and contagious
