"Signal Thirty" lyrics

A fractured skull reveals the contents therein, as cerebrospinal fluid drips
Grey matter covers the VIN, torsion leaves vertebrae ripped
The column impales the chest, pleura is torn into bits
Organs are crushed and compressed, last breaths gasp in bloody fits

Head to the scene, grim and obscene, blood and chrome gleam
Wrecks to transport, deaths to report, corpses to sort

The doomed assume a languid pallor, blood pools in scraps of steel
Veins eject vital ichor as gas and claret congeal
The body has been threshed, hematomas swell
A mass of charred flesh, tangled mess of metal

Another violent death on the highway
Another life snatched by carelessness
Another bloody number in the toll
Another look upon the face of death

Signal thirty
The code that has a morbid meaning
Signal thirty
The code that comes after the screaming

Death plays an overture of torture as the moans of the maimed are heard
Cries of pain and fear accompany the catastrophe unfurled
The nauseating task of removing a life that has passed before fruition
Telling the tragedy, a task that grows no less sad with repetition

Organs ablated in collision, prolapsing onto the seat
Abdominal excision trickles onto the street
Extremities crushed and bound, pinned within the crash
The humours come unwound from every weeping gash

Another violent death on the highway
Another life snatched by carelessness
Another bloody number in the toll
Another look upon the face of death

Signal thirty
The code that has a morbid meaning
Signal thirty
The code that comes after the screaming
