Dead Silent Slumber - Entombed In The Midnight Hour lyrics

rate me

[Cello by Maria Hamrin]

Twelve chimes echo from beyond

Mixed with whisperings from the coldest of winds

Saluting the birth of the darkest hour

The time when spirits are flying free

[Female vocals by Ann Akerman of Lucky:]

The circle of candles is lit

Evocations are spoken by twisted old lips

Summoning of the ones who cannot be named

Invoking the souls of the dead

[chorus:]

Entombed in the midnight hour

The awakening of the dead

Entombed in the midnight hour

Rise and walk the earth

Coffins are lowered into the ground

Mud and earth is torn down and closes the graves

Blood, blood is poured in ancient signs

As abysmal storms brood beyond the trees

The chantings drown in the howling winds

The candles are quenched by whirling restless souls

The ground trembles as more blood is spilled

The coffins open from within

[chorus:]

Entombed in the midnight hour

The awakening of the dead

Entombed in the midnight hour

Rise and walk the earth

[Guitar lead by Ulph Johansson]

The dead have risen from their graves

Awakened by the souls of the ancient ones

The fog of death sweeps across the land

to consume the earth

[chorus:]

Reborn in the midnight hour

We all shall resurrect

Reborn in the midnight hour

We all shall walk... consume the soil...

the dead shall walk the earth
