From the Grave (Cinematic Mashup) [Intro] [low synth drone, distant metallic clangs] [solo male baritone voice] Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Brimstone ash upon my tongue, a century of fire, I traded in my resting place to feed a dark desire. [Build-up] [staccato string ostinato enters] The demons clawed my velvet coat, they whispered I should stay, But I have debts to settle in the world of fading day. Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [taiko drum hits, sub-bass pulses] My crimson eyes snap open in the suffocating dark, Within a chest of withered ash, a solitary spark. [Verse / Rise] [brass swells, rising orchestral tension] The worms recoil in terror, the sulfur burns my skin, The gates of hell are opening to let the night begin. Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [tightening rhythm, sub-bass pulses harder] Dirt and bone surrender to the strength within my hands, I tear away the rotting roots that bind me to these lands. The rusted iron coffin lid, it shatters like a glass, I pull myself through poisoned earth, a specter in the grass. [Pre-Climax] [brass swells, risers circling] Oh, the living sleep so soundly, bathed in moonlight's gentle grace, But I bring the fires of Hades to this god-forsaken place. Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm [dissonant string tremolos creeping in] Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Climax] [full orchestral ensemble, heavy percussion accents] I am rising from the grave! From the sulfur and the chains! I am riding on the midnight wind to empty out your veins! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hear the graveyard marble shatter, hear the shadow's quiet rave, I am coming for you, mortals, from the grave! [Drop Reprise] [taiko hits, brass stabs, sub-bass surging] [dissonant string tremolos, electronic risers] Lock your heavy oaken doors, draw the curtains tight. Clutch your silver crosses to ward away the night. Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I am the creeping terror that your daylight cannot save. Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Outro] [full ensemble cuts to echoing piano note] The shadow on your windowpane... The draft beneath your door... Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm [sudden silence, low frequency thud] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh From the grave.
