Verse 1 Beneath the earth where shadows sleep, A restless soul lies buried deep. A warrior's bones, a heart of stone, Guards his treasures all alone. The burial mound begins to shake, The frozen ground begins to break. With hollow eyes and rotting flesh, He rises from his deathly rest. Pre-Chorus No prayer can calm his bitter rage, No chains can hold him in his cage. The ancient curse has claimed its due, The dead return to hunt the living through. Chorus Draugr! Draugr! Rise from the grave! Bound by darkness, no soul to save! Draugr! Draugr! Hear the dead man's cry! A cursed immortal who refuses to die! Through frozen nights and stormy skies, The terror of the burial mounds arise! Draugr! Draugr! The dead walk again! Bringing fear to the world of men! Verse 2 Once he sailed beneath the northern lights, A fearless raider who conquered the fights. He gathered silver, gold, and fame, But death would never end his claim. They laid him down with sword and shield, With stolen treasures from the battlefield. But greed and hatred consumed his soul, And darkness took him beyond control. His flesh grew cold, his spirit twisted, His name by mortal tongues resisted. He crushed the brave who dared to roam, And dragged the living from their homes. Pre-Chorus The midnight wind begins to scream, His shadow walks through every dream. With superhuman strength and hate, He guards the treasures of his fate. Chorus Draugr! Draugr! Rise from the grave! Bound by darkness, no soul to save! Draugr! Draugr! Hear the dead man's cry! A cursed immortal who refuses to die! Through frozen nights and stormy skies, The terror of the burial mounds arise! Draugr! Draugr! The dead walk again! Bringing fear to the world of men! Verse 3 A hero came with blade in hand, To face the horror across the land. He crossed the moors beneath the moon, Knowing death would find him soon. The mound split wide, the monster roared, Blackened hands reached for the sword. Steel struck bone in the midnight air, But mortal courage could not compare. The warrior fought through blood and flame, And spoke the forgotten hero's name. With one last strike, the curse was broken, And silence fell where death had spoken. Bridge But far away, beneath another hill, A corpse lies waiting, cold and still. The wind grows fierce, the ravens cry, And ancient evils will never die. For every king who hoards his gold, For every soul consumed by cold, A draugr waits beneath the stone, To rise again and claim his own! Guitar Solo Final Chorus Draugr! Draugr! Rise from the grave! Bound by darkness, no soul to save! Draugr! Draugr! Hear the dead man's cry! A cursed immortal who refuses to die! Through frozen nights and stormy skies, The dead arise where the darkness lies! Draugr! Draugr! The end draws near! The ancient dead are bringing fear! Outro Beneath the earth, the dead remain, Dreaming of vengeance, hunger, and pain. When midnight falls and the cold winds blow, Beware the mound where the dead kings go. The soil will tremble, the stones will part, The draugr awakens with a deathless heart. From Norse legend, a nightmare untold, The dead rise again to reclaim their gold!
