Cadaver Synod from Pain Communion by Collapsed Vein

The old man's body, monstrous doll
Might nod and bend unguided
He makes no sound, in holy robes
those are weary in his defense
A deacon summoned to be his voice
darker holes than sepulchers
Propped upon this papal throne
Collapse in ghastly bundle if left be

Execrating such weak monstrosity
To suffer spontaneous ruin more willingly
The name of god, in blasphemy
Desecration fuels the scandal

Corrupted rule, abuse of throne
Abolishment of prior rulings
Anathematized for violation
The irony is how this looks
His crime in life was dual control
papacy while ruling land
Against the order of holy Rome
Indignation of his noble heir

Stripped of his vestments, culpable
dismemberment of his trinity
Guilt determined by usurped crown
This vile conviction seems impious
There was a quake during the trial
This sign from god did not deter
Even with voice placed in his stead
There was nil chance for him to protest

Conclusion of this feeble trial
Saw the once holy one dragged
Through streets of Rome, so everlong
Interred within the unmarked plot

As if to add further insult
The remains were once again uncovered
To throw his form into the tides
The cold and ever flowing river

Like everything, this too will soon be lost
These actions out of sight and mind
Absolve the church of any wrong
Never to confess the unhallowed

The billows heave and fan the flames
Hells accordion doth consumes all in full
They think the dead…stay taciturn
Damnations tale…they’ll surely burn
