Grave Digger

If you thought I was evil
Before

Once upon a time
I was an old man
Working late at night

I used to be a grave digger
Looking for treasures

Mementos of the fallen
The silver gold and brass

The wealth of all the souls
Who have passed
Will be mine forever

The frigid dusk had settled in
And the moon was shining bright
I toiled away to
Dig Dig Dig
Those treasures were nearly mine

The mud was frozen solid
But my shovel had struck wood
The casket started shaking
The dead inside were screaming

Rise up
From the dead
We're coming back tonight

Rise up
From the dead
We are the revenant

You will not take away
What belongs to me
We're left here to decay
Just leave us to our peace

The deeds throughout my life
They're coming to haunt me

The dead beneath me rise
They're coming to hurt me

The fortunes I seek
The treasures I hold
They're not mine to cherish

These feelings I have
These memories I hold
They're coming to kill me

The dead they will rise

Once I realized I was a dead man
Fresh meat for the dead
I knew I had to find a way
To stop the masses from

Summoning these creatures
From six feet underground
I must return their treasures
In the same place they were found

Rise up
From the dead
We're coming back tonight

Rise up
From the dead
We are the revenant

You can't just run away
You're welcome to stay
You might rot and decay
Before you get away

The deeds throughout my life
They're coming to haunt me

The dead beneath me rise
They're coming to hurt me

The fortunes I seek
The treasures I hold
They're not mine to cherish

These feelings I have
These memories I hold
They're coming to kill me

It's too late to walk away
These defiled souls are here to stay
They will haunt you 'till you die
There's no way that
You can survive

The air stands still
As we're ready

To rip your face apart
You're fucking heartless

The time has come
To start running

Face to face I see their grins
Lipless snarls as it begins
Pleas of mercy all denied
All the treasures cast aside

Screams of terror fill the night
Wails of pain from their delight
The night is silent once again
As their revenge comes to an end

The deeds throughout my life
They've all come to haunt me

The dead within me rise
They've all come to hurt me

The fortunes I sought
The treasures I held
Were not mine to cherish

The feelings I had
The memories I held
They've all come to kill me
