Shredded Humans - Live 1992 Songtext
von Cannibal Corpse

Early hours, open road
Family of five - on their way home
Having enjoyed a day in the sun
Their encounter with gore has just begun

A homicidal fool not knowing left from right
Now has the family in his sight
Trying to perceive if he′s blind or insane
He steers his car into the other lane

Both of them collide, expressions horrified
Head on at full speed, the vultures will soon feed

The father of three was impaled on the wheel
As his skull became part of the dash
His eyeballs ejected his sight uneffected
He saw his own organs collapse

His seatbelt was useless for holding him back
It simply cut him in two
Legs were crushed, out leaked puss
As his spinal cord took off and flew


The mother took a flight through the glass
And ended up impaled on a sign
Her intestines stretched from the car down the road
For a quarter of mile

Fourth child on the way, won't live another day
Fetus on the road, with mangled little bones
Little children fly, not a chance to wonder why
Smashed against the ceiling, all their skin burning and peeling

Schards of glass explode
Chest and skull now implode
Corpses they′ve become
And graves will have to be dug

Underneath the wheels, burning rubber on your face
Bleeding from your eyes, the slaughtered victim lies
Knowing what he's done, he just backs up one more time
Laughing at the mess, a pile of meat on the street


One child left slowly dying now
Arteries gushing blood
Now it's time to feed on flesh
The gore has just begun
One child left slowly dying now
Arteries gushing blood
Now it′s time to feed on flesh
The gore has just begun

Early hours, open road
Family of five - on their way home
Having enjoyed a day in the sun
Their encounter with gore has just begun
A homicidal fool not knowing left from right
Now has the family in his sight

The look of death in my eye
Surely no-one survive
Just a pile of mush
Left to dry in the sun

I see my fresh kill
Left in the road
Remains of your body
Mangled and torn

I see my fresh kill
Left in the road
Remains of your body
Mangled and torn

His seatbelt was useless for holding him back
It simply cut him in two
Legs were crushed, out leaked puss
As his spinal cord took off and flew

The mother took a flight through the glass
And ended up impaled on a sign
Her intestines stretched from the car down the road
For a quarter of mile

One child left slowly dying now
Arteries gushing blood
Now it′s time to feed on flesh
The gore has just begun
