"Keeper Of The Graves" lyrics

"Keeper Of The Graves"

He walks alone all through the night
With apparitions in his lamplight
The spirits, they hide within these church walls
The dead, they murmur, to him, they call

Here they come to exhume
But the dead, they hear them from their tombs
As rain pours down, you can hear them cry
"Leave us in peace tonight, it's your turn to die"

In the night, full moonlight
Casting shadows through the gravesite
The villains come to do their deed
To harvest bodies, to satisfy needs

They excavate, but it's too late
The dead want victims, so meet your fate
The souls are in pain, they can't break the chains
Their spirits forever will be enslaved

Whoa, oh, no one will be saved
Who will avenge the keeper of the graves?
Whoa, oh, they won't be saved
Who will avenge the keeper of the graves?

Terrified, no place to hide
Follow the keeper, he's on your side
Then in an instant, the knife, it found
Straight through the heart, he hit the ground

Whoa, oh, no one will be saved
Who will avenge the keeper of the graves?
Whoa, oh, they won't be saved
Who will avenge the keeper of the graves?
