Scratching on the wooden lid, inhaling the coffin air  Slowly opening your eyes,  Just to see the blackness of the grave  Dead, but breathing... just silent creeping  From within, the sound of a devilish voice  Hissing, whispering, speaking to thee...    [chorus:]  Rise from the grave  You are blessed from the scythe of the grim reaper  From now on you shall walk by his side  To spread the plagues of pain and suffering  For him their souls  For you their blood and the pleasure of dread  Leaving the remains for the earth and the worms...  ...and so you are blessed - Reborn by the seed of death    Your pulse grows stronger... Pounding, beating  Chiming like the bells of hell, as if the veins shall burst  Something grows deep within, some infernal embryo  Like a spawn of a demon, of a devil,  Of Satan himself, constantly repeating...    [chorus:]  Rise from the grave  You are blessed from the scythe of the grim reaper  From now on you shall walk by his side  To spread the plagues of pain and suffering  For him their souls  For you their blood and the pleasure of dread  Leaving the remains for the earth and the worms...  ...and so you are blessed - Reborn by the seed of death    Aeons of death and iniquity  Carry this inheritance throughout the evolution  The lid slams open as the earth gives away  Behold this night, this starclad night of resurrection    [choirs by mattias holmgren of embracing]    Reawakened in pure depravity  Reborn in immortality, in endless sins  Baptized in the ancient ones' blood  You are a spawn of a demon, sent back to life    Reborn by the seed of death    And in the horizon the silhouette of a man is dancing  Swinging his cloak in ritual moves,  Holding a scythe raised to the sky  And from his throat comes the words...  ...as if reading your mind...    [chorus:]  Rise from the grave  You are blessed from the scythe of the grim reaper  From now on you shall walk by his side  To spread the plagues of pain and suffering  For him their souls  For you their blood and the pleasure of dread  Leaving the remains for the earth and the worms...  ...and so you are blessed - Reborn by the seed of death
