Graveborn Rising

Intro

(Whispered)

Don't wake me...

(Distorted voice)

They buried the wrong man... yeah

Drop

Midnight rain on the graveyard stone

Cold black sky and I'm walking alone

Verse 1

Footsteps follow but nobody there

Something breathing inside of the air

Moonlight shining through the dead tree leaves

Every shadow got something to see

I tried to run from the things in my head

But the nightmare said I was already dead

I been alone where the cold wind blows

Lost in the dark where nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

I hear the wolves when the moon gets high

I hear the dead when the church bells cry

I closed my eyes but the dark came through

I thought I escaped

(But the dark knew)

Chorus

THE GRAVE WON'T STAY CLOSED

I'M COMING BACK FROM THE COLD

THE NIGHT TOOK MY NAME

BUT IT CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL

THE GRAVE WON'T STAY CLOSED

I GOT THE FIRE IN MY BONES

I WALK THROUGH THE DARK

BUT I'M NEVER ALONE

Verse 2

Streetlights flicker when I walk by

Black birds circle in the midnight sky

Everybody said I changed too much

Maybe darkness is a dangerous touch

I got a werewolf heart when the moonlight hits

Vampire shadows with the red-eye glint

Monsters outside but the war inside

Sometimes I wonder where my old self died

Pre-Chorus

No angels talking no easy way

Just another nightmare at the end of the day

I keep my head down and walk through the smoke

Turn pain into fire every time I spoke

Chorus

THE GRAVE WON'T STAY CLOSED

I'M COMING BACK FROM THE COLD

THE NIGHT TOOK MY NAME

BUT IT CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL

THE GRAVE WON'T STAY CLOSED

I GOT THE FIRE IN MY BONES

I WALK THROUGH THE DARK

BUT I'M NEVER ALONE

Bridge

(Spoken)

They thought silence meant weakness

(They thought...)

They thought loneliness meant I was gone

(Was gone...)

But some things

(Come back...)

Come back different

Verse 3

Graveyard gate and the fog roll in

Battle with the dark but I'm born to win

Every bad dream got a face I know

Every cold road got somewhere to go

I don't need a crown I don't need a throne

I learned how to survive on my own

If the whole world leaves I still stand tall

Turned every closed door into a haunted hall

Final Chorus

THE GRAVE WON'T STAY CLOSED

I'M COMING BACK FROM THE COLD

THE NIGHT TOOK MY NAME

BUT IT CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL

THE GRAVE WON'T STAY CLOSED

I GOT THE FIRE IN MY BONES

I WALK THROUGH THE DARK

BUT I'M NEVER ALONE

Outro

(Whisper)

They thought I was gone

(Distorted)

I was only waiting

(Whisper)
