Carneous Cacoffiny by Carcass
Carneous Cacoffiny
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)
I'm not positive about the little ascending bit in this riff, and the rhythm
notated for the final chords might be a little off.
Intro & verse:

That last little ascending bit is harmonised, I think. (5ths?)
Other verse riff (alternate with the above):

At about 2:30 into the song, there's this bit, possibly as power chords:
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| (qtr. notes)
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

|----------5--|-7--8--------|----------5--|----------3--|
|-5--7--8-----|-------8--7--|-3--5--6-----|-1--3--4-----|
Later, under "My corrupt crescendos...", there's a progression similar to
A5 C5 E5 D#5 G#5 B5, with some other little bits in there...
...but I don't know exactly how it goes--this sounds close, however. I
believe the subsequent progression is
A5 Bb5 G5 F#5 | A5 Bb5 G5 G#5
The "enter my funereality" bit is the same chord progression basically.
The cool arpeggiated ending bit which alternates with that above riff is:
Asus2 G#5 Gsus2 F#5
The ending riff is: (2 gtrs.)

And then of course an A5, segueing to Lavaging...
Human remains in a beaker and tray and coffee pot. Bones which were being
partly macerated, dissolved, in a margarine container which had engine
coolant in it. It smelled very awful."
Striking up my discordant underture
A carnal cacophony perversely penned
Transposed...and decomposed
On strings fashioned from human twine
Lovingly wound and fretted upon my bow
Garishly incarcerated...the dead resonate
In a final death-throe
Vibrant as I thresh...
Movements scripted for the dead...
Orchestral horrors I vehemently conduct
My corpus concertos cordial
Disinterred... and detuned
With six feet below
In harmony with the deceased
My inspiration...your disintegration
For my latest masterpiece
My scope creeps your flesh...
Notes seep from sinewy frets...
But don't hold your breath
As you wait for your god or the void
Or the abyss of nothingness
Your usefulness isn't through
Your productivity I resume...
My sorbid, soiled handicrafts
Will be your afterlife's handicap....
...My corrupt crescendos...
...Will leave you out on a limbo...
...Your disposition I unleash...
...You will rest in my piece...
With deadly dynamics
You're dead, buried and barred
Your remains dampened and fingered
Your mortal coil is barbed
The death-bells are peeling
Ringing out as you flake
Shrieking out their recitals
A celebration of your wake...
Enter my funereality
My world two metres under
A curious habitat
Your muddy trench I plunder
Pass on to ethereality
Churned out under the sextant's blade
You live your life in wretchedness
And death is no escape...
