Necropolis March Lyrics - Sorrowseed

Gather in the trenches 

Gather, one and all 

Gather in the killing fields 

To amass and gnaw upon the fortress walls... 

Here the flames of carnage burn the weakest of men 

The bastards of a world destined to falter and fail. 

We abolish the blasphemies of feeble flesh 

My presence enervates all life within my wake. 

Here we lay roots upon these cursed lands 

Reclaiming the glory of the necrolords 

The threads of fate and domination resonate through me 

My soldiers of bone shall march like puppets in hordes. 

(Chorus): 

From Necropolis they march in my name 

My empire, my nation, they carry the flame 

At my behest, arise the undead and restless 

Marching as one...for progress and conquest. 

Gather to the ruins 

Gather as the nations fall 

Gather all the raw remains 

To bolster and build the stronghold walls. 

Here is where I've watched the mortal queens and kings 

Plead before me on bended knees 

The decrepit and corrupt that lead the masses of minds 

Like parasites they feed; they would defy our disease. 

There is no power here but mine, and no bargains to gain 

No wealth among thralls that dwell in gibbets of rust 

All minions shall be roused by the force of my will 

Every corpse called upon the war to do as they must. 

(repeat chorus) 

Terminals built upon the bulwarks 

Massacre intruders to my domain 

Zeppelins patrol the skies in prodigious arcs 

Across this mausolean terrain. 

We dissect the land and its inhabitants in the name of my research 

The sciences of arcane mysteries shall be unveiled at last 

Thus we shall assail, slay and prevail against the tribes of mankind 

And banish memories of freedom and mortality to the past. 

I, the sovereign lich queen declare this world at war 

Come heroes, creatures, and gods - for I am the one to abhor. 

My destiny etched in dragons' bones - who dares to challenge my reign? 

I am the scion of life's bane!
