Twelve chimes echo from beyond |
|
Mixed with whisperings from the coldest of winds |
|
Saluting the birth of the darkest hour |
|
The time when spirits are flying free [Female vocals by Ann Akerman of Lucky:] |
|
The circle of candles is lit |
|
Evocations are spoken by twisted old lips |
|
Summoning of the ones who cannot be named |
|
Invoking the souls of the dead [chorus:] |
|
Entombed in the midnight hour |
|
The awakening of the dead |
|
Entombed in the midnight hour |
|
Rise and walk the earth |
|
Coffins are lowered into the ground |
|
Mud and earth is torn down and closes the graves |
|
Blood, blood is poured in ancient signs |
|
As abysmal storms brood beyond the trees |
|
The chantings drown in the howling winds |
|
The candles are quenched by whirling restless souls |
|
The ground trembles as more blood is spilled |
|
The coffins open from within [chorus:] |
|
Entombed in the midnight hour |
|
The awakening of the dead |
|
Entombed in the midnight hour |
|
Rise and walk the earth [Guitar lead by Ulph Johansson] |
|
The dead have risen from their graves |
|
Awakened by the souls of the ancient ones |
|
The fog of death sweeps across the land to consume the earth [chorus:] |
|
Reborn in the midnight hour |
|
We all shall resurrect |
|
Reborn in the midnight hour |
|
We all shall walk... consume the soil... the dead shall walk the earth |
