Repulsive slab of pasty meat Torqued wide with craftsman's pride Revealing a slick tub of grime I slide my arms deftly inside This husk once sentient Now on the cusp of pestilence In science's name I rent A grisly educational end Finding and excising anatomy Mustering my knowledge of postmortem history Instructed and guided by The infamous anatomist-Giovanni Morgagni I find the liver lobed In cirrhotic hold I scrape arterial plaque Flay pericardial sacs Disease invariably ends with me I cave it from the corpse for further study Human shelf life proved once again The tax of living corrupts unerringly Necrolytic bubbling, chymic innards splash Soupy rot sprays from gastric mush Piping putrefaction makes gruel of its host Fogged moisture beads my dripping face guard Grotesque anatomy Students of disease SongtexteOrganic debris Lessons from Morgagni Opened stiffs Olidious whiffs Putrefaction pours Spilling gore Hunting down diseases, divining macabre truth Sickened innards coo, squirting enzymic clues Tracking pathogenic progress to its end Retching from the answers found therein Organs are sorted, labeled, and weighed Adroitly butchering carcasses, for which I'm well paid To anatomic manuals, I steadfastly abide It's the only method to navigate while inside The amazing human machine Inside out is rarely seen I've patiently toiled and trained To make it my stock and trade Aus Songtexte Mania
