I am the lingering ache
I am the stabbing pain
I am the echo in your head

In your bones the starvation waits
In your tender flesh the worms hatch
The desperation and the hate

The maggots eat and dine
While you live and learn
Like festers on your bare skin
Oozing, boiling pusses

Alas, it's your time now
Dear mourner, dear cadaver
Waste away, time goes by
Your flesh rots, bones decay

Good god, are you willing
   to let me go while you still can
Good god, Christ my saviour
   the one who made me what I am
