Cadaver Alive

Cadaver Alive

Laying on this cold metal table was not what I had in mind

But now the moments of death started to rewind

I remember having a drink with my wife whom I loved dearly

Then fell to the ground feeling dizzy and heart pounding weirdly

I watched as the medics came and pronounced my death

Then I saw her smile with him and he gently kissed her neck

Now here I am, my faith is a Cadaver

Medical students surround my corpse, with scalpel, rib shears and bone saw

I watched as they sliced through my dark flesh like steak at a diner

Plunging deep into my body and extracting my lungs and my liver

I saw my beautiful body mutilated, rocking from side to side

As they cut and sliced and took out all that was inside

Then I heard someone say, “Let us take out the eyes and examine them”

As each cut they made, it was like my soul in pain, again and again

I heard the saw whining and it was time for my skull cap to go

As they plucked out my eyes and my brain removed slow

I cringed and trembled in my soul

I flew over and looked at my body and could not believe

Once I was a living known man, now today I am a piece of meat

I stunk up the room with my rotting flesh

Then they zipped me up and tossed back into the morgue what was left

Only if I had known, maybe I would have lived life a little better

Who knew I would end up as a Cadaver
