The Black Dahlia Murder - Removal of the Oaken Stake(2020)

[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]
