Speak with the Dead
Song info: this is a song about necromancy. It was the first track written and recorded for the album, and it was named for this song because of that. Its main riff is very similar to one found in Point Nemo, although that was by accident.
Lyrics
In the court of bones and rot Communion's held where death is wrought Where the spirits sing and dance And corpses sit in necrotic trance Acrid stench of centuries Unleashed from entombed memories Hear the choir of the dead As they rise up from earthly beds Vengeful tales from those were slain And laments of those who died in pain Soldiers that had died in vain And ramblings of those once insane Even children join the horde Their young lives cut short by death's sword The many, wise, fools, weak, and strong Who join in union with death's song Necromancy Let's us freely Cast spells most dread Speak with the dead Beyond life's bounds Knowledge is found Learn what's unsaid Speak with the dead Beneath the pale moon and stars We speak among those from afar Before we see the rising sun The ritual will soon be done Hearing secrets of the past The knowledge gained is deep and vast And we know what waits beyond From the undead which we have spawned Necromancy Let's us freely Cast spells most dread Speak with the dead Beyond life's bounds Knowledge is found Learn what's unsaid Speak with the dead |
