[Instrumental] [Verse] I woke up in the land of the dead and gone. A thousand years of shambling, trudging on, And ever since I woke I felt like something was wrong. But then I picked up a blade and knew the dance and song. [Verse 2] I have seen a thousand battles and a thousand more. Risen and fallen between the warriors and lords. Come closer, boy, and let me speak to your ear, I'll teach you every secret as shadows draw near. [Chorus] I've died, (Died!) a thousand deaths, I don’t know when I last drew breath. Every single bit of me’s as black as you think! So stop, (Stop!) thinking you’re immune, You are weak against this dark commune. But nothing’s compared to the pain of this sting! It’s a final death I bring! [Solo] [Verse 3] Every swing of fell blades will keep binding souls. Spirits of the past will drag you down below. To live and die eternally is quite the toll, But embrace the darkness in the depths and you’ll soon know. [Bridge] Waves of the dead show secrets so clear, Whispers of the beyond world you shouldn’t hear. Learning to die is a lesson that draws near, Such a lecture from me will surely teach you fear! [Chorus] I've died, (Died!) a thousand deaths, I don’t know when I last drew breath. Every single bit of me’s as black as you think! So stop, (Stop!) thinking you’re immune, You are weak against this dark commune. But nothing’s compared to the pain of this sting! It’s a final death I bring! It’s a final death I bring! [Instrumental] [Lead-up] Every swing of fell blades will keep binding souls. Spirits of the past will drag you down below. To live and die eternally is quite the toll, But embrace the darkness in the depths and you’ll soon know. [Solo] [Bridge] Waves of the dead show secrets so clear, Whispers of the beyond world you shouldn’t hear. Learning to die is a lesson that draws near, Such a lecture from me will surely teach you fear! [Chorus] I've died, (Died!) a thousand deaths, I don’t know when I last drew breath. Every single bit of me’s as black as you think! So stop, (Stop!) thinking you’re immune, You are weak against this dark commune. But nothing’s compared to the pain of this sting! It’s a final death I bring! [Outro]
