[Lead - Eric]
Book of the dead, pages bound in human
flesh
Feasting the beast, from the blood the words were said
I am unseen, dreamt the sacred passage aloud
Trapped in a dream of
the necronomicon
Seven Lords of an evil and fatal force
Levitate through the secret and ancient doors
Unbegun, premenating
bizarre
Swept away to the castle of Cantar
Seeking the tomb, tried to possess
Immortal sleep, visions of death
Drank of
the blood, water of life
Splendorous son, show me the sign
You are dead
Blanketing fear, unknown to man
Demons appear, death
they command
(Dead by dawn, dead by dawn, dead by dawn
DEAD, BY, DAWN) [X3]
Blasphermate me
[Lead -
Eric]
We are what wars, and shall rule again
Dead by dawn, chanting death thee ancient hymm
This is not real, I am not the
chosen one
Trapped in a spell of necronomicon
Torted pain, in the palace of dead
Rec(i?)tate, through the passages I
dreamt
Dead, dead by dawn
Dead, dead by dawn
