mientras miraba hacia arriba, había filas y filas y filas de cadáveres . había miles y miles, si no millones . a su derecha, había militares, soldados . el Señor Dios le mostraba que estos humanos estaban allí para enterrar los cuerpos porque va a haber una gran ola de hambrunas y pestilencias que va a golpear a las naciones por los cuerpos, por los humanos muertos . él estaba tirando de estas bolsas y en una de ellas, había una cabeza de alguien que sobresalía de la bolsa . sus ojos eran de color blanco podrido. su cara estaba fuera de la bolsa para cadáveres . ** era muy gráfico .**

una cruda imagen
Explanation:
In this case you need to move a bit away from the literal translation and I think the expression "cruda imagen" sums up the english sentence very well. The definition of "crudo" in Spanish is "que es cruel, despiadado o muestra con excesivo realismo lo que puede resultar extremadamente desagradable".
