[Intro – Screamed]
Shadows breathe, the coffin shakes,
I’m awake where silence breaks,
Rust and blood drip down my skin,
I’m not gone, I’m trapped within!
[Verse 1]
Cold veins, black flame, still I rise,
Buried deep, but I open my eyes,
Worms crawl through a kingdom of bone,
Yet I laugh, ‘cause this grave is my throne!
[Pre-Chorus]
Death took my body, but not my soul,
I claw through dirt with a will untold,
Chains can’t bind what was never free,
Living in death is eternity!
[Chorus] (big, anthemic)
I’m alive in the grave, hear my echo scream,
Twisted nightmare, born from a dream,
In the ashes of flesh, I ignite the pyre,
Living in death, I become the fire!
[Verse 2]
Hear the toll of a thousand cries,
I dance with ghosts under bleeding skies,
Skin decays but my spirit won’t rot,
Immortal curse is the life I’ve got!
[Breakdown – Growled]
Dig me deeper, feed the earth,
I’ll crawl through hell, reborn in dirt!
Skull cracked open, halo of rust,
I rise in death, eternal disgust!
[Chorus – screamed with backing clean vocals]
I’m alive in the grave, hear my echo scream,
Twisted nightmare, born from a dream,
In the ashes of flesh, I ignite the pyre,
Living in death, I become the fire!
[Bridge – slow, heavy, melodic guitar]
Death’s not an ending, it’s a cage,
I’m the fury that breaks the stage,
Hear my voice through the void of night,
I am decay, but I burn with life!
[Outro – chaotic, fading screams]
Grave-born king… crown of bones…
Still alive where the dead all roam…
Ash to ash, but I’ll never rest…
Living in death with a beating chest!
