“Call from the Grave" had been written by multi-instrumentalist Quorthon and is about a person who’s dying. Buried in a lost tomb, he’s suffering and asks to his Lord that death reach him soon, and the only thought that in the afterlife there is Hell doesn’t make him afraid of death.
God of Heaven, hear my cries of anguish
I'm in pain
I've suffered a thousand deaths but I live on in vain
Death would greet with eternal sleep
My soul would come to peace
My life had ceased
The time was comed
Can no-one hear my pleas
Lowered down in the moisty ground
Into the dark and cold
My heart's beat the only sound
Pain tears my limbs and soul
I scream for mercy
Hear my cries
Oh, Lord don't abandon me
I'm so tired
Grant me the eternal sleep
I tear at the lid I'm suffering
In a cold and nameless grave
If Hell is what awaits me
I feel no fright
Buried and forgotten
In a cold and nameless grave
If there's a God in Heaven
Hear my call from the grave
I tear at the lid I'm suffering
In a cold and nameless grave
If Hell is what awaits me
I feel no fright
Buried and forgotten
In a cold and nameless grave
If there's a God in Heaven
Hear my call from the grave
