Acended Dreadwalker Vlood - Rex Cadaverum

Intro

(Re-rex cadaverum)

Mm

Ah-ah

Verse 1

A bell rings once across the ruined nave

My own name tastes like ash

Seven faces fell and left no song

Only silence where a king once stood

I am stronger than the man I buried

Chorus

Rex cadaverum

Rex cadaverum

The dead have chosen me their prince

Rex cadaverum

And every crown is cold

Verse 2

The old me dreamed of standing this tall

He would have wept with pride

I only hear the choir counting corpses

I only feel the winter in my hands

Something in me died to raise this throne

Pre-Chorus

So I lift what I never wanted

And I carry what I never chose

Chorus

Rex cadaverum

Rex cadaverum

The dead have chosen me their prince

Rex cadaverum

And every crown is cold

Solo

(Sanctus sanctus)

(Sanctus sanctus)

Verse 3

Three more layers sleep beneath the stone

Morningstar waits past the throne

I do not want this iron on my brow

But the living will not fall

So I rise the way the dead rise

Slow and without joy

Bridge

Take the title take the terror

Take the centuries of weight

I will walk into the fire

I will walk into the fire

Not as victor but as gate

Chorus

Rex cadaverum

Rex cadaverum

The dead have chosen me their prince

Rex cadaverum

And every crown is cold

Outro

The man beneath the crown would smile

(Re-rex cadaverum)

He would have smiled

(Rex cadaverum)
