Grave Moon Ascends v2

Ash in the chapel dust Blood on the altar stone The moon leans close tonight And the dead come home I carved the name in bone Below the rootless tree Black wax on broken hands A curse for all to see The priest burned in the rain His tongue went cold and thin I turned the silver key And let the plague begin Hear that soil split Hear that hunger rise The graves are opening Behind a million eyes The grave moon ascends The world will bend Zombie tide, zombie tide We drown in the end The grave moon ascends Your prayers won't mend Zombie tide, zombie tide It pulls your name They claw through market stalls Through churches, fields, and farms Milk gone sour in the pail Cold teeth in mother's arms The wolf bells ring at noon The crows know what is near A king in rot and reeds Is taking back the year Hear that soil split Hear that hunger rise The graves are opening Behind a million eyes The grave moon ascends The world will bend Zombie tide, zombie tide We drown in the end The grave moon ascends Your prayers won't mend Zombie tide, zombie tide It pulls your name I wore the crown of ash I kissed the serpent's ring I fed the night a seed And watched it learn to sing Now every door is torn Now every chain is dead The dark I called for you Is feeding on your breath Kneel to the mud Kneel to the grave Kneel to the cold That you could not save Kneel to the mud Kneel to the grave The curse is awake And it knows your face The grave moon ascends The world will bend Zombie tide, zombie tide We drown in the end The grave moon ascends Your prayers won't mend Zombie tide, zombie tide It pulls your name Ash in the chapel dust Blood on the altar stone The moon goes black at last And the dead own home #OriginalSong #HeavyMetal #HardRock
