Generosity Of The Deceased - Defeated Sanity

Empty shell is placed on a sacred ledge

Exposed to the elements

Pungent odours rise

Scavengers will feast

Cold flesh soon to be devoured

Corpse will be reduced to skeletal remains

Rapid disposal of a possible source of infection

Ancient ritual to sustain other’s lives

Generosity of the deceased

Harsh lands leave no option for interment or cremation

Traditional practice claiming man’s intrepidity

Pale limbs chopped up with an axe

Enabling creatures to swiftly consume

Loved ones are adviced to leave this morbid scene

Skin, flesh, tendons, feet, genitals

Liver, heart, spleen and intestines

Primitive deconstruction of the human anatomy

Skin, flesh, tendons, feet, genitals

Liver, heart, spleen and intestines

Primitive deconstruction of the human anatomy

Ripping frenzy interrupted

Bones mashed into pulp for consumption

Skull split open to make brain accessible

Nothing is wasted

Transference of vitality

Empty shell have vanished from the sacred grounds

A return to idyll

Pungent odours gone

Scavengers are full

Skeletal remains

Reduced to nothing

Transference of vitality

An act of good karma
