Prey do not wake me as I slumber in the earth,
I do not know what hell may come with me,
Know that.....
For dark things slumber with me in this grave,
Rotting things with dreams of desication,
With me they lurk...
We may just rise to take the throne of the living,
Cast the world into a thousand years of darkness,
We agents of decay...
Rise up my brethren our time to shine black is nigh,
Come forth old and forgotten lords of decreptitude,
Our reign beckons....
The world hungers for our putrid moldering flesh,
It dreams of our languor and seething petrification,
Longs for doom....
Taste our fetid breath and know the beauty in rot,
Welcome to the mausileum we remake the world,
At long last....
We are fate undenied join us and know victory,
A timeless curse that now cannot be arrested,
Join us at last....
Submit or we will gnaw on your drying bones,
Make our war drums with your flayed skins,
Time wont wait....
Best left sleeping but we waited long enough.
