Bone Choir v2

Ash in the chapel cracks A name is carved in stone Under moonlit mud I wake With teeth of weathered bone Cold hands pry my lid From the throat of the pit Mud in my eye sockets And the worms still spit I rise from broken cedar From rust and funeral lace My ribs are a cage of cinders My jaw remembers grace Then the dirt starts hissing Like a mouth that knows my shame Voices crawl through the roots And they call my hidden name Skeleton man, rise Skeleton man, rise Whispers in the grave Never let me die Skeleton man, rise Skeleton man, rise Dead men in my skull Sing me back to life I walk between the markers Where the blackthorn claws the night Every stone leans closer Every crow takes flight The dead keep speaking softly Through the iron and the rain They tell me what I buried They tell me who I became Then the dirt starts hissing Like a mouth that knows my shame Voices crawl through the roots And they call my hidden name Skeleton man, rise Skeleton man, rise Whispers in the grave Never let me die Skeleton man, rise Skeleton man, rise Dead men in my skull Sing me back to life I was buried with my sin I was nailed beneath the yew Now the tombstone splits open And the dark belongs to you Low, low voices gather Like a storm inside my chest If I fall back into silence Will the dead still know me best Skeleton man, rise Skeleton man, rise Whispers in the grave Never let me die Skeleton man, rise Skeleton man, rise Dead men in my skull Sing me back to life #OriginalSong #HeavyMetal #HardRock
