The Grotesquery - Coffin Birth (Sarg Geburt)

Oct. 31, 1898
“It has been 3 days, 3 days since I carried the corpse of my sweet Marcella to be placed within the family tomb.
And now on this night - this dark night, as I entered into the tomb to gaze down upon her still corpse as I had done so for the past two nigh, I would find to my astonishment a frightful sight indeed. On this dark evil night… her corpse did stir.
Her bloated womb was moving under her nightgown. I could see it! I couldn’t believe my eyes… what madness was this? Was this insanity had I finally gone insane with guilt and grief? I took the scalpel from my pocket – and proceeded to slice into my dead wife’s corpse.”

COFFIN BIRTH (SARG GEBURT)
Expelling forth from its dead mother’s womb
Post mortem barring in this decomposed tomb!
Caustic placenta burns, this acidic after birth
Amniotic sac explodes, after death – burst!
Coffin birth
Taken from the corpse, wrapped in burial shrouds
Kept alive by nefarious means, with ancient Chthonian spells!
My mother groan’d! My father wept.
Into the dangerous world I leapt:
Helpless, naked, piping loud,
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
Offspring of carrion, child of rot and decay
From darkness born, condemned to live this way!
Coffin birth!
