Scratching on the wooden lid, inhaling the coffin air

Slowly opening your eyes,

just to see the blackness of the grave

Dead, but breathing... just silent creeping

From within, the sound of a devilish voice

hissing, whispering, speaking to thee...



[chorus:]

Rise from the grave

You are blessed from the scythe of the grim reaper

From now on you shall walk by his side

to spread the plagues of pain and suffering

For him their souls

For you their blood and the pleasure of dread

Leaving the remains for the earth and the worms...

...and so you are blessed - Reborn by the seed of death



Your pulse grows stronger... Pounding, beating

Chiming like the bells of hell, as if the veins shall burst

Something grows deep within, some infernal embryo

Like a spawn of a demon, of a devil,

of Satan himself, constantly repeating...



[chorus:]

Rise from the grave

You are blessed from the scythe of the grim reaper

From now on you shall walk by his side

to spread the plagues of pain and suffering

For him their souls

For you their blood and the pleasure of dread

Leaving the remains for the earth and the worms...

...and so you are blessed - Reborn by the seed of death



Aeons of death and iniquity

Carry this inheritance throughout the evolution

The lid slams open as the earth gives away

Behold this night, this starclad night of resurrection



[choirs by mattias holmgren of embracing]



Reawakened in pure depravity

Reborn in immortality, in endless sins

Baptized in the ancient ones' blood

You are a spawn of a demon, sent back to life



Reborn by the seed of death



And in the horizon the silhouette of a man is dancing

Swinging his cloak in ritual moves,

holding a scythe raised to the sky

And from his throat comes the words...

...as if reading your mind...



[chorus:]

Rise from the grave

You are blessed from the scythe of the grim reaper

From now on you shall walk by his side

to spread the plagues of pain and suffering

For him their souls

For you their blood and the pleasure of dread

Leaving the remains for the earth and the worms...

...and so you are blessed - Reborn by the seed of death
