Algor Mortis The Linear Rate Of Cadaveric Cooling lyrics
Ravaged, torn, and punctured-the carcass oozes from
multiple wounds
Avulsed and sliced, the dermis weeps pus and purge
fluid with clear,
viscous goo
Prior to the initial incision, before my scalpel is
baptized bloody wet
We determine the postmortem interval using a
simple
algebraic formula for death...
A direct body core
temperature measurement,
postmortemly taken, is the order of the day
The corpse is lifted on its side and a slit in its
pants is cut in the
most delicate way
Lacerations leak wasted heat and fluid, as the body
cools in a predictable manner
My assistant lubricates the
thermo-couple probe, a
massive 12-inch long chemical thermometer...
...Freezing hold...
...Corpse gone cold...
...Cooling
blood...
...An icy flood...
...The body a husk; its innards are
spilt...
...This ferocious anal probing causes no guilt...
...A
facet of my profession, this duty I've sworn...
...I stab forth the
thermometer as the anus is torn...
Environmental conditions of the crime
scene are
meticulously recorded
And the room temperature of the
dissection room is
dubiously noted
The core temperature of the
carcass plummets through
means of convection
Physical science
triumphs over life as heat escapes
through radiation...
Moritz's
formula is the rule of thumb from which I can
derive...
"98.6F -
rectal temperature ? 1.5"
This equation produces the time of death,
though
nothing is quite this ideal
Whether oral, rectal, brain or
liver, I shall monitor
the temperature with the greatest zeal...
This gelid method of detection has a cold-bloodedly
frigid appeal
Observe the sanguine-streaked suppuration chill, pool,
and congeal-ac
