[Verse 1]
I came in black ash robes
Boots on chapel stone
My name carved cold in iron
And the grave answered slow
Four graves cracked at sunrise
Maggots on the gate
I held up one pale finger
And the dead obeyed
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the earth split wide
Hear the old bones call
Under my palm
Every kingdom falls
[Chorus]
Raise the dead for me
Raise the dead for me
Bone crown, march with me
Bone crown, march with me
Skeletons in rows
Zombies at my heel
Wraiths through the smoke
Now the night is sealed
[Verse 2]
Mummies wrapped in dust
Drag the sand like chains
Undead dragons overhead
Spitting cold green flame
I take the broken banners
I turn them inside out
Your bright steel ranks get smaller
When my shadow breathes out
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the earth split wide
Hear the old bones call
Under my palm
Every kingdom falls
[Chorus]
Raise the dead for me
Raise the dead for me
Bone crown, march with me
Bone crown, march with me
Skeletons in rows
Zombies at my heel
Wraiths through the smoke
Now the night is sealed
[Bridge]
Tremble, bright blood soldiers
Your walls know my name
I don’t need mercy
I don’t need a grave
[Final Chorus]
Raise the dead for me
Raise the dead for me
Bone crown, march with me
Bone crown, march with me
Skeletons in rows
Zombies at my heel
Wraiths through the smoke
Now the night is sealed
Undead sky above
Undead ground below
I point, they rise
And the living fold
