[Verse 1]
I came up from the pit
With dirt on my tongue
Took the old black staff
And I split the sun
Tomb doors swing open
Hear the iron grind
I call names from the mud
And they crawl in time
Skulls on the front line
Knuckles in the fog
Ribs like barbed wire
Marching through the bog
Mummies in the shroud
Wrapped in yellow dust
Wraiths at my shoulder
Like a cold steel gust
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that ground break
Hear that chain rattle
I don’t need mercy
I need battle
Bones in formation
Eyes glow red
When I raise my hand
They rise from the dead
[Chorus]
Raise them up
Raise them up
Grave crown march
We don’t stop
Raise them up
Raise them up
I command the dark
Then I lock it in
[Verse 2]
Undead dragon circling
Black smoke wake
Teeth full of thunder
With a tombstone shake
Zombies in the back rows
Hands from the earth
Every fresh wound
Gives my army birth
I wear the war like a coat
I wear it cold
Every soul I stole
Turns into gold
Cinder in the lungs
Ash on the brow
I don’t serve death
I run death now
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that ground break
Hear that chain rattle
I don’t need mercy
I need battle
Bones in formation
Eyes glow red
When I raise my hand
They rise from the dead
[Chorus]
Raise them up
Raise them up
Grave crown march
We don’t stop
Raise them up
Raise them up
I command the dark
Then I lock it in
[Bridge]
Hush now
The crypt is singing
Hear my name
Hear the blade wings
If you want the throne
Come take your shot
But the dead don’t kneel
And I taught them to rot
[Final Chorus]
Raise them up
Raise them up
Grave crown march
We don’t stop
Raise them up
Raise them up
I command the dark
Then I lock it in
Raise them up
Raise them up
All my dead return
And the kingdoms split
