lyrics

A spell writ in blood upon pages made of skin
Dark primeval magic conjure forth the rotting dead
From thousands of years ago, hidden secret away
The book is alive with malice howling in pain for blood

Once it is spoken, the dead begin to repeat
As they rise from the ground, the words made by their mouths
The dead rise hungry, spiteful and enraged
Weapons do nothing, the corpses must be destroyed

A foolish man with power, speaking words he does not understand
A wicked chance of fate, such negligent arrogance
A weapon of such power to be used by demonic host
Unleashed by a fool into a time not prepared

Long before recorded history there were others here
Much more powerful beings than man
But in the way of mortal beings, we longed to tame their secrets
There were things recorded not meant ever to be written down

There were only a few at first, then there were many
And their legions just continue to grow
Animated malicious flesh already decomposing
Soon their numbers will be in the millions

A foolish man with power, speaking words he does not understand
A wicked chance of fate, such negligent arrogance
A weapon of such great power to be used by demonic host
Unleashed by a fool into a time not prepared
