[No vocals whatsoever during Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Under clay and crooked stone A ghoul wakes alone Mud in his throat, cold in his hands He claws the lid with broken bands Ribs like hooks, eyes full of night He stands up wrong in graveyard light Freshly dead and starved for more He smells your pulse through the floor [Pre-Chorus] Hear that scrape? Hear that grind? Something hungry Coming blind No prayer left No place to hide It drags your name From the other side [Chorus] Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up He wants your bones He wants your meat Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up Dead or alive It's all a treat [Verse 2] Past the fence and through the reeds He stalks by moonless, starving needs Pale hands reaching for your chest He tears through bones to find the rest Rotten breath on window glass He circles slow, then makes his pass Every porch light starts to fail Every scream goes thin and pale [Pre-Chorus] Hear that scrape? Hear that grind? Something hungry Coming blind No lock holds No saint can save It drags you down Back to the grave [Chorus] Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up He wants your bones He wants your meat Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up Dead or alive It's all a treat [Bridge] Now he’s at the bedside rail Teeth like rust, jawbone stale One for the dead, one for the living He takes and takes and keeps on digging [Breakdown] Dig! Claw! Feed! Gnaw! [Final Chorus] Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up He wants your bones He wants your meat Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up Dead or alive It's all a treat Ghoul crawling up Ghoul crawling up Bury your name Nowhere to hide
