_ [Dm] _ When the world [C] was clergy, the coming [Dm] of men
Such a soul a witness, [Em] the beginning of the [Dm] end
From a [D] world of magma to a [Dm] cold white face
The ascent of madness [Am]
and a [D] human _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ race
We are strange believers, _ [Dm] all of us
In our strength and truth, immortal lust
We [C] rise from slumber, he [Dm] calls our name

For the lord of light, _

_ _ _ _ Eternal blackness, beyond [Dm] the stars
We think our wisdom, [Em] we'll get the [Dm] bow
At the master's [C] table, the [Dm] table's bare

Good day.
_ My name is Necropolis.
_ I am [C] full of the dead. _
I am the harvester of [G] this soul, and _ I suck the [D] lives from round my bed.
_ [Dm] _ My only two [D] sons, I gave them breath, and I filled their living corpses with my bile.
_ _ What humanity [Dm] I knew, [G] I've [D] long [G] forgotten.
_ [D] For me, eternity [A] is nothing _ but a short while.
