Master of the Dead

[Verse 1]
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 lives departing
Cries upon deaf ears befall

[Pre-Chorus]
For an aeon
We have waited
Almighty demon
End this hatred
Crack the heavens
Cleanse the Earth
Bring destruction
For our rebirth

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
For an aeon
We have waited
Almighty demon
End this hatred
Crack the heavens
Cleanse the Earth
Bring destruction
For our rebirth

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
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
