The Principals And Practices Of Embalming Lyrics - Berzerker

Wanted to be the first technician on a cranial autopsy 

The principles and practice of embalming 

Examination of all the head and before the incision 

Cavities might allow 

Blood to escape through the veins causing change 

To the original condition of the brain 

An incision, is first made through, 

the scalp flaps and in line with the skull, 

a double V shaped, cut is then made, 

by sawing through, the bones of the skull 

Open the skull 

Dura is spilt 

The brain is removed 

For examination 

By cutting it loose 

With a long bladed knife 

Tightly ligate 

The ends of the veins 

Drill a small hole 

Through the back of the skull 

Puncture the scalp 

Insert through this hole 

A section of tubing 

To be used as a drain 

Hold this in place 

With a safety pin inside the: 

Since it is physically imposible 

To prevent all leakage in to the skull 

We have developed a procedure which eliminate problems 

If offers the hope that, what was required to fix the head is gone 

There's no frustration to show our work once it's strengthened 

Drill and wire the calvarium to the skull on both sides 

Twist the wires tightly so the skull will be unable to slip 

No autopsy may be made unless authority has been secured 

Coroner may order an autopsy to seek cause of death 

Or if the causeof his death is not yet apparent
