  Lying there cold after a torturous death 
  Your life ended fast, you took your last breath 
  Dead in a grave, your final place 
  The maggots infest your disfigured face

Play Riff C3 2x with lyrics: 

  Puss through your veins takes the place of blood 
  Decay sets in, bones begin to crack 
  Thrown six feet down, left to rot 
  Brains oozing down the side of your broken neck

Play Riff D 4x with lyrics: 

                                       They enter your tomb  
  Beginning to feast              Crawling on you  
  Now they eat you                Rotting maggots  
  Infesting your corpse     Parasites of the dead  

Now a very fast slowdown to 130 bpm: 

 Now dwell in your head
