It's about the head being destroyed by the elements, not about the head decomposing. Decomposition is the separation of matter caused by other elements that the matter is exposed to on the field. It's not a bad translation, but it's a bit indirect.

Any is fine, actually, as long as this doesn't become a "Madness vs. Lunacy" argument. I think the translation is really more to preference.
