The Black Dahlia Murder - Removal of the Oaken Stake

[01:04.95] Encased in shadows [01:06.66] So silently I've slept [01:09.62] Dreaming of the day [01:11.55] My needs haphazardly are met [01:15.03] I recall an ancient time [01:17.42] When I did rule this land [01:19.94] But by this godforsaken spell [01:22.80] The life I'd known was stripped right from these hands [01:26.40] In death I'm bound [01:28.91] Nailed to the ground [01:31.52] Stabbed through the heart [01:33.83] The only tender human part [01:36.99] Removal from my breast [01:39.38] The killing oaken stake [01:42.27] When this curse is broken [01:44.15] And these yellowed bones regenerate again [01:47.70] When this coffin steams so foul [01:51.33] Glowing with crimson light [01:53.84] Inhuman sweat shall stain [01:56.46] The silk as death returns to life [01:58.89] No, no pity for the fool [02:03.48] It's fangs to he who stirs my slumber [02:06.40] Quenching an olden thirst [02:08.79] To rise once again unencumbered [02:11.76] I'll live again [02:14.54] An incubus in human skin [02:17.39] Buried by time and dust [02:19.59] A most harrowed secret kept [02:22.03] Older than memory [02:24.50] Through history I've crept [02:27.86] Hidden the ancient world [02:29.99] Where vampires ruled the lands [02:32.77] But by man's dreadful mortal schemes [02:35.20] They've captured us in purgatory's dance [02:38.84] In death I'm bound [02:41.10] Nailed to the ground [02:43.81] Stabbed through the heart [02:46.29] The only tender human part [02:49.31] In death I'm bound [02:51.92] Nailed to the ground [02:54.60] Right through the heart [02:56.63] What you'd call lore it's very real to me [03:00.25] Removal from my breast [03:02.30] The killing oaken stake [03:05.32] When this curse is broken [03:07.22] And these yellowed bones regenerate again [03:10.75] When this coffin steams so foul [03:13.82] Glowing with crimson light [03:16.46] Inhuman sweat shall stain [03:18.60] The silk as death returns to life [04:21.69]
