This arrangement of Requiem pays homage to Meat Detonation by Crud.

Listen to Requiem by Richard Charles Stevens (Laid To Rest Suite)

My bones were fractured
Still the mascot flowers grew and bid resume
To the most animate of hyperactive bloom
(Hearts unmasked and ablaze)
.
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore her tomb
(Requiem)
.
As my flesh decayed
Then fell away
Her restless eyes didst nowise wellaway
Whichsoever way I bled
My longing veins upon She quenched
Forever kept
Thence wept myself awake
(Requiem)
.
No mortal coil to spoil the vista
Human foil to boil and blister
Even when the cold soil gripped her corpse
Her thoughts were free
.
My bones were fractured
Still the mascot flowers grew and bid resume
To the most animate of hyperactive bloom
(Requiem)
.
My concave heart
Forevermore her tomb
.
Led beside to lie in ruin
Death reprised of my own doing
Crept inside my bones
Tattooing chromosomes
Thereby renewing overtones of She
Her highness
Siren of the Sea
And as I died
The high tide guided me
To where devoured the light from me
.
No mortal coil to spoil the vista
Human foil to boil and blister
Even when the cold soil gripped her corpse
Her thoughts were free
.
My bones were fractured
Still the mascot flowers grew and bid resume
To the most animate of hyperactive bloom
(Requiem)
.
The empty bed
Felt warm beside me
Whispering of rivers cried me
As before me
So behind me
All I saw was She
Each little death
We met anew
I bled divine to wed her true
Fragile as December dew
My restless eyes didst nowise wellaway
(Requiem)
.
My heart bled red with fire
And crackled valiant and true
As I rode astride her chariot
Enamoured of the view
Angels and demons
Proclaimed their allegiance
Of no known impedance
So whole was our truth
.
The skies were black and blue
Their scars remarked of ashen hue
To height of fashion long impassioned to renew
.
My bones were fractured
Still the mascot flowers grew and bid resume
To the most animate of hyperactive bloom
.
We danced in the flames
Advanced past bitter fates
Avant-garde dinner dates
Hearts unmasked
And ablaze
Deeper and deeper we fell beneath spell
Heavenly creatures undressed of our hells
.
Kissing death’s lips with the breaths we expelled
Swimming eclipse to replenish the well
Kissing death’s lips with the breaths we expelled
Swimming eclipse to replenish the well
.
