undead lullaby

Deep in the dark
I felt the fire flicker
Ignite the flame and give us life
My cursed mark
And hollow heart grow sicker
Out of the shadow cometh light

Blinding faith, give me sight
Praise the sun, day or night
Break the fog, dark and light
Life and death, black and white
Warmth and cold, wrong and right
Bliss and pain, health and blight
I feel disparity preparing me to die

Kill me? I'd like to see you try
You take my life, I fail to die
The fires fade, now close your eyes
And sing my undead lullaby
The night will fall and swallow light
To fill my dark hollow inside
And yet my death is all but nigh
Sing my undead lullaby
I sing my undead lullaby
So far from life, yet cannot die
This is my undead lullaby
My cursed undead lullaby
Sent to my grave, again I rise
To sing my undead lullaby

I was told I must rekindle embers when they dwindle
But it wasn't darkness that marked us with this symbol
It was Gwyn - Lord of Cinder, he's the tinder in the Kiln
Destined me to be undead - least I got an iron will
His infernal Age of Fire's not eternal
Until the flame is out I'll bear the cursed burning circle
I descended from a furtive pygmy - yet you'd never know it
Cuz I'm crossing swords with all
the Lords and leaving each one Soulless
But it took time until I'd learned, that if I'd like to be wiser
Well then I might need to die
first, and then I'll be twice the fighter
Lightin' fires, climbin' spires, summon up some knights for hire
The divide between humanity and I is even wider
But I won't stop at any cost, I've forgotten all that I've lost
As I conquer impossible odds, even topple the strongest of gods
And the consequence of resurrection - barely feel alive
At least I've got disparity preparing me to die

Kill me? I'd like to see you try
You take my life, I fail to die
The fires fade, now close your eyes
And sing my undead lullaby
The night will fall and swallow light
To fill my dark hollow inside
And yet my death is all but nigh
Sing my undead lullaby
I sing my undead lullaby
So far from life, yet cannot die
This is my undead lullaby
My cursed undead lullaby
Sent to my grave, again I rise
To sing my undead lullaby

Darkness is falling
And I hear the calling
The shadows are coming to life
But I won't rekindle
The embers that dwindle
As I sing my undead lullaby
