[Verse 1] He reads the bones like a prayer Tracks split by the spine Three came in laughing Left their boots in a line He ties up his hood And slips through the dark Cold Shovel in his palm Death in his cart [Pre-Chorus] Shadows lean closer When the moon goes thin He knows every lie That the graves keep in [Chorus] Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) Deep in the dark Where the Living can’t breathe Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) One clean spell And the Cemetery is clean [Verse 2] He finds their fire cold By a ring of black stone A knife by a rat skull And a bone chipped bone He hears them curse out loud Through the wet of the dirt Then a spell wakes fast And one shadow will hurt [Pre-Chorus] No mercy in the tombs No bargain in the strife He names them by their essence Then he drains their life [Chorus] Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) Deep in the dark Where the Living can’t breathe Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) One clean spell And the Cemetery is clean [Bridge] He’s not a ghost He’s the last black flame When the dead wear faces He remembers their names Bone by bone He pulls them apart Till the night goes still With reanimated heart [Final Chorus] Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) Deep in the dark Where the Living can’t breathe Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) One clean spell And the Cemetery is clean Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) Quiet and sure Till the terror is through Necromancer swarms you Necromancer swarms you (swarms you) If you disturb the dead It comes hunting for you
