Ash to ash, dust to dust,

chant these words eternally

Blackened blood, seeps from wounds,

igniting cells into flame

Bodies burn, bones implode,

eye sockets dry in the heat

Organ dust, vibrating,

shapelessly into the night

Ritual blaze, symbolic state of forever

Malediction, written in flesh ever more

Shredding the skin,

ensconcing the cinders beneath

Burning immortal, endless inferno of man

Execration vocalized

Spoken in an unknown tongue

Phosphorescent funeral pyre

Incinerating time itself

Bleeding incandescent lava

Arteries are volcanized

Pours expelling toxic fumes

Sulfer dioxide fills the room

It is not the light that I seek, just the flame

Mass conflagration vortex, draw me in

Ceremonial cremation, ash to ash

Terminal incineration, return to dust
