[Intro]
(Sound of thunder and wind. The distant sound of chains dragging on stone. Slow, ominous guitar riff begins.)
Guitar: Heavy, low, sludgy riff with occasional dissonant, eerie bends.
(Growl)
"I walk the path where shadows crawl,
The dead arise, the earth does call.
Gravekeeper, I guard the tombs,
Where silence feeds on impending doom."
(Thunder crashes, followed by blast beats.)
---
[Verse 1] (Fast blast beats, guttural growl)
(Vocals):
Beneath the soil, the worms still feast,
A kingdom lost, a nameless beast.
I stand alone in hollow halls,
Where rotting kings heed death's cold calls.
A thousand screams, a thousand cries,
Echo through the dirt, beneath the skies.
In every grave, in every stone,
The spirits scream, yet I stand alone.
---
[Chorus] (Drums slow for a brief moment, building tension)
(Vocals - shouted growls):
I am the keeper, I guard the gate,
The soul’s condemned, the hour’s too late.
Gravekeeper's oath, bound by the dead,
I carve their names where angels dread.
---
[Verse 2] (Heavy guitar riff with sporadic blast beats)
(Vocals - deep growl):
Through the crypts, I walk in gloom,
Where death's perfume fills every room.
The bones of kings, the dust of time,
I speak their name, a cursed rhyme.
They never leave, they never rest,
Endless torment, no peace, no blessed.
The flesh decays, but they still moan,
I hear them whisper, I am their throne.
---
[Chorus] (Blast beats return, more intense)
(Vocals - growling, with a sense of urgency):
I am the keeper, I guard the gate,
The soul’s condemned, the hour’s too late.
Gravekeeper's oath, bound by the dead,
I carve their names where angels dread.
---
[Bridge] (Slow, haunting guitar solo with a sense of dread and despair)
(Guitar solo interspersed with faint, distorted whispers)
Whispering Voices:
"You cannot escape, you cannot flee,
For in the grave, you’ll be set free.
A fate sealed, a blood-stained crown,
The earth will rise, the dead will drown."
(Heavy, reverberating thrum of guitar riff, building up again.)
---
[Outro] (Fast blast beats and an intense, chaotic breakdown)
(Vocals - growling, fading into the chaos):
Gravekeeper's oath, I’m bound to the void,
A world of ruin, a place destroyed.
The dead shall rise, and none shall flee,
For in the grave, you’ll find your peace with me.
(The chaos erupts, instruments grind to a halt.)
(Whispering growl):
"The dead will call... The dead will rise..."
