Lyrics

[Verse 1] Encased in shadows So silently I've slept Dreaming of the day My needs haphazardly are met I recall anancienttime When I didrule this land But by this godforsakenspell The life I'd known was stripped right from these hands [Chorus] In death I'm bound Nailed to the ground Stabbed through the heart The only tender human part Removal from my breast The killing oaken stake When this curse is broken And these yellowed bones regenerate again When this coffin steams so foul Glowing with crimson light Inhuman sweat shall stain the silk As death returns to life [Post-Chorus] No, no pity tor the fool Its fangs to he who stirs my slumber Quenching an olden thirst To rise once again unencumbered [Verse 2] I'll live again An incubus in human skin Buried by time and dust A most harrowed secret kept Older than memory Through history I've crept Hidden the ancient world Where vampires ruled the lands But by man's dreadful mortal schemes They've captured us in purgatory's dance [Chorus] In death I'm bound Nailed to the ground Stabbed through the heart The only tender human part In death I'm bound Nailed to the ground Right through the heart What you'd call lore, it's very real to me Removal from my breast The killing oaken stake When this curse is broken And these yellowed bones regenerate again When this coffin steams so foul Glowing with crimson light Inhuman sweat shall stain the silk As death returns to life
