"Master Of The Dead" lyrics

"Master Of The Dead"

Death surrounds me
The dead have come to take their prize
A fabled prophecy
Now we come to realize

Death is marching
Fast upon our weakened walls
Our live departing
Cries upon deaf ears befall

For an aeon
We have waited
Almighty demon
End this hatred

Crack the heavens
Cleanse the Earth
Bring destruction
For our rebirth

Oh, master
Why won't you hear our cries?
Oh, master
Awake from death and rise
Oh, master
We need you one more time
Oh, master
Game over, time to die

Scrolls of ages
Conceal the answers to our plight
This war enrages
Alone we cannot stand and fight

I watch as the city dies
Searching for the only cure
You turn you back and blind my eyes
And still we need you evermore

For an aeon
We have waited
Almighty demon
End this hatred

Crack the heavens
Cleanse the Earth
Bring destruction
For our rebirth

Oh, master
Why won't you hear our cries?
Oh, master
Awake from death and rise
Oh, master
We need you one more time
Oh, master
Game over, time to die

This charm bestowed upon me
To raise you from your sleep
Reciting from this scripture
To summon from the deep

But now my powers fail me
Was I ever the one?
The heavens now betray me
My god, what have I done?

Oh, master
Why won't you hear our cries?
Oh, master
Awake from death and rise
Oh, master
We need you one more time
Oh, master
Game over, time to die
