Medico-legal Psalmody (Human Reef)

At the last audit
Whence we draw
Our sum of guilt
In blood-red letters
In the purlieus
Of the deep
The forensic examine
That parts
That man conceals
And disembowel us
Until all the blood
Had drained
From the victim
Our entrails are spilled out of
Our leathern and bones
The silver sickle doing
The honors of the house
The skill of the doctors
When the curtain fell on the last act
The organic symphony stopped
On the scene of the crime
The scalpel scraping
Carve a furrow broad in our flesh
Marking the last signet
The medico-legal psalmody began
We said our last farewells
Our career is done
And we sink back into
The bowels of the world
The horde of desperate men
Become completely cut off
From his environment
Living there very quietly
In their glass coffins
In a self perpetuating
World of illusion
While they are awaiting
Their turn to crumble
Into their native dust
Empty words promised impossibilities
And performed nothing
Engendered by the fear of some
And the ignorance of all
But everything perish
Including us
The rain drenches our bones
To the sound of the trumpet of the angel of death
At the last audit
Whence we draw
Our sum of guilt
In blood-red letters
In the purlieus
Of the deep
The forensic examine
That parts
That man conceals
And disembowel us
Until all the blood
Had drained
From the victim
Our entrails are spilled out of
Our leathern and bones
The silver sickle doing
The honors of the house
The skill of the doctors
When the curtain fell on the last act
The organic symphony stopped
On the scene of the crime
The scalpel scraping
Carve a furrow broad in our flesh
Marking the last Signet
The medico-legal psalmody began
We said our last farewells
Our career is done
And we sink back into
The bowels of the world
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
A cosmic view of humanity
From a dying sun
Torn to shreds by time
Despite the innumerable hosts
Of lives that had gone to build
This human reef
A desperate attempt
To escape
From the chase of time
But the death
Of the human race
Is at hand
