Carpe Corpus

Seize the corpse

Hold it in your arms

What is left, of what you love

Seize the corpse

It's the rest of you

Your other half

Carpe Corpus...

Seize the corpse

That is your mother, your father

Sister, brother, lover

Those you cannot awaken

Those you once wished to silence

Risen to rot

The voice of your logic

Assures you it cannot be

Your insanity just laughs

And laughs, and laughs

In the graveyard of sighs

Beyond the flowers that cheer the graves of your kin

You hear them sigh- trapped forever

Cold black earth-trapped in ice

You got your wish- finally

The silence is your's

In the graveyard of sighs

You imprisoned them here

Sweet forever, promised that fateful day

So bitter

So you visit her now, beneath the ground

Your fate not in her arms

But in a box, and nobody cares

Seize the corpse.
