The Shroud Lyrics

Undeath...
They call it a curse...
The short-sighted fools...
I shall defile this mortal coil,
else my knowledge be entombed...

I've stolen eternity
By my will alone I breathe
Dead flesh contains my being
Forevermore...
I trudge through the centuries
wielding my black incantations
By vile necromancy
I live once more...

Returned... Undead...
Beyond... The shroud of death
I rise...once again,
Thoroughly damned

The tides of the ages shall bolster my power,
Unrestricted by that
inevitable hour
Powers long forgotten, mine to command
An insult to god, the inversion of man

I trample the centuries
a product of black conjurations
By vile necromancy
I live once more
I am a wound in eternity
Unholy experimentation
In this foul phylactery
My soul endures....

Returned... Undead...
Beyond... The shroud of death
I rise...once again,
Thoroughly damned
