Book of the Dead
Lyrics
Verse 1
On a table stained black
I found it in the ash
Skin on the cover, cold
A name none dare to ask
Pages thin as graves
Full of sins and prayers
Ink like a poisoned flood
Breathing through the air
Pre-Chorus
One eye on the seal
One hand on the knife
Hear the room go still
Hear the dead come alive
Chorus
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Turn one page, lose your head
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Save your soul or burn instead
Verse 2
Written in stolen blood
By mouths that never slept
Each line a rusted chain
Around the weak and kept
Even hell backs away
From the things it knows
Every word a wound
Every chapter grows
Pre-Chorus
One eye on the seal
One hand on the knife
Hear the room go still
Hear the dead come alive
Chorus
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Turn one page, lose your head
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Save your soul or burn instead
Bridge
Lock it in iron
Bury it deep
Say your last prayer
Before it eats
No flame can cleanse it
No saint can stand
It takes your shadow
It takes your hand
Final Chorus
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Turn one page, lose your head
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Save your soul or burn instead
Book of the dead
Book of the dead
Close the cover, run from dread
