Grave Emperor
Dancing chained together on the spine of this curs-ed Earth
(No step to keep in time)
Set as silhouettes against the Sun burning out of the horizon and into oblivion
Shambling, slowly, in grim procession, driven by the primal urge
(No meaning to be discerned)
Gaining past the failing light, into dark of night, into the void from which we all sprang Forth
Pushing back against the black stagnant outside
This substance slipping through our fingers
Bodies trapped in the interstices
Glories drown in its rot
All your memories that deceive
And the stories you believe
Conquerors and their slaves
They all dig the same graves
Felled by life itself
Extinguished cells
The dread of a godless night
The pain of singular existence
The demon of silence and the fear that it brings
The threat of decomposition
Like siblings bound together
As tinder to the fire
Devoured by the wrathful mouth
As the Grave Emperor pushes down
Grave Emperor - Victorious
Grave Emperor - We submit, we submit
Grave Emperor - It is decreed
Grave Emperor - On our knees, on our knees
Like siblings bound together
As tinder to the fire
Devoured by the wrathful mouth
As the Grave Emperor pushes down
Pushes down
It bows us down
It bows us down
It bows us down
(No step to keep in time)
Set as silhouettes against the Sun burning out of the horizon and into oblivion
Shambling, slowly, in grim procession, driven by the primal urge
(No meaning to be discerned)
Gaining past the failing light, into dark of night, into the void from which we all sprang Forth
Pushing back against the black stagnant outside
This substance slipping through our fingers
Bodies trapped in the interstices
Glories drown in its rot
All your memories that deceive
And the stories you believe
Conquerors and their slaves
They all dig the same graves
Felled by life itself
Extinguished cells
The dread of a godless night
The pain of singular existence
The demon of silence and the fear that it brings
The threat of decomposition
Like siblings bound together
As tinder to the fire
Devoured by the wrathful mouth
As the Grave Emperor pushes down
Grave Emperor - Victorious
Grave Emperor - We submit, we submit
Grave Emperor - It is decreed
Grave Emperor - On our knees, on our knees
Like siblings bound together
As tinder to the fire
Devoured by the wrathful mouth
As the Grave Emperor pushes down
Pushes down
It bows us down
It bows us down
It bows us down
