Sorrowseed - Necropolis March lyrics

Gather in the trenches Gather, one and all Gather in the k**ing fields To ama** and gnaw upon the fortress walls... Here the flames of carnage burn the weakest of men The ba*tards of a world destined to falter and fail. We abolish the blasphemies of feeble flesh My presence enervates all life within my wake. Here we lay roots upon these cursed lands Reclaiming the glory of the necrolords The threads of fate and domination resonate through me My soldiers of bone shall march like puppets in hordes. [Chorus:] From Necropolis they march in my name My empire, my nation, they carry the flame At my behest, arise the undead and restless Marching as one...for progress and conquest. Gather to the ruins Gather as the nations fall Gather all the raw remains To bolster and build the stronghold walls. Here is where I’ve watched the mortal queens and kings Plead before me on bended knees The decrepit and corrupt that lead the ma**es of minds Like parasites they feed; they would defy our disease. There is no power here but mine, and no bargains to gain No wealth among thralls that dwell in gibbets of rust All minions shall be roused by the force of my will Every corpse called upon the war to do as they must. [Repeat chorus] Terminals built upon the bulwarks Ma**acre intruders to my domain Zeppelins patrol the skies in prodigious arcs Across this mausolean terrain. We dissect the land and its inhabitants in the name of my research The sciences of arcane mysteries shall be unveiled at last Thus we shall a**ail, slay and prevail against the tribes of mankind And banish memories of freedom and mortality to the past. I, the sovereign lich queen declare this world at war Come heroes, creatures, and gods - for I am the one to abhor. My destiny etched in dragons’ bones - who dares to challenge my reign? I am the scion of life’s bane!
