Grave-Caller’s Crown

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!)

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!)

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!)

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

[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!)

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
