Lich Yard

Lyrics

[Intro] Beware the Lich Yard, of ghosts and ghouls The secrets it hides attract only fools Beyond its gates the death specter looms So turn back now, or you will meet your doom! [Verse 1] Go away 'fore you meet your end Monsters come in the night Don't delay or they will descend Just to give you a fright So you better run and hide If you want to save your lifeline For the creatures here Assuredly will beat you and eat you All the warnings have been shared It's no wonder that you're so scared If you want to stay Better be on your way [Verse 2] Delving into the monster lair Given time, you will see As you push on without a care You'll begin to believe That you made a grave mistake When you came in before daybreak This is not a game The stakes here are of life and your last breath But you know it ain't so gross There is beauty in the morose If you don't oppose Might as well listen close [Bridge] Living as undead It isn't so bad Not if you look up toward the light From deep within your home Under the ground You'll find everything is alright [Chorus] So there it is You have the choice To stay alive Or use your undead voice We will abide What you decide So take a leap of faith And live your life So that's your call You choose to fall Just to be born again And join the thrall Then grab my hand You'll understand Now take your place Among the midnight band [Interlude] (What?) (Who is that?) (Shovel Knight?) (Here to defile the Lich Yard?) (Pray for mercy) The reaper has come! [Verse 3] Those who trespass shall meet their end Only lost souls to call our friends And the ghosts gathered to descend To the Reaper's defense! All the warnings have been shared And no one can say they're unprepared Let the enemies of the cemetery all beware In the legion of the night We give no quarter lest you run and hide No pity from those who've transcended life [Verse 4] Delving into the lair tonight Where memorials twist and writhe Those who oppose shall lose their life On the edge of the scythe! For you made a grave mistake And you will never see the daybreak For the dead may never rest, but never get to wake In the legion of the night There's no compassion for what was your plight No pity from those who've transcended life And when the undead hordes Finally put down their swords You'll have time to look to the light And in your burial mound Far deep below the ground You'll find that everything is alright [Outro] And that's the plan That's my command Old lives are forfeit to the midnight band So join the thrall And heed the call For while you still can choose You choose to fall
