Grave-Caller’s Crown

[Verse 1]
Bone dust on my tongue
Black ink in my veins
I’ve numbered every grave
Memorized their names
Sigils carved in wax
Candles bleeding gray
I bargain with the dark
To drag you back my way (rise!)
[Chorus]
I am the hand that steals you from the ground
Grave-caller’s crown
Grave-caller’s crown
Bodies bend and break when I speak the sound
Grave-caller’s crown
Grave-caller’s crown (obey!)
[Verse 2]
Dice clack like loose teeth
On a cracked stone slab
Chance is just a chain
And I decide who’s shackled
Cold eyes counting corpses
Like coins in a purse
Every failed salvation
Just fuel for my curse (come forth!)
[Chorus]
I am the hand that steals you from the ground
Grave-caller’s crown
Grave-caller’s crown
Bodies bend and break when I speak the sound
Grave-caller’s crown
Grave-caller’s crown
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to half-time
Guitars grind low]
Crawl from the pit
Kneel in the rot
You died for the gods
Now you live for my thought
Breath is a burden
Life is a chain
I cut it
Twist it
Then wear your pain (yeah!)
[Chorus]
I am the hand that steals you from the ground
Grave-caller’s crown
Grave-caller’s crown
Ash and iron oath
You are forever bound
Grave-caller’s crown
Grave-caller’s crown

metal, Relentless modern death metal with cavernous guitars, blast beats, and guttural male vocals; verses stay tight and chug-heavy, choruses open into half-time stomps with dissonant chords and gang shouts, bridge erupts into a tremolo-picked frenzy before a final breakdown; mix drenched in reverb for the vocals while guitars stay razor-focused and brutal., death metal
