Here is the soul of a man

Here in this place for the taking

Clothed in white, stand in the light

Black dog in the ruins is howling my name
N.C.
So here is the soul of a man

DmDm
Good day, my name is Necropolis
DmDm
I am formed of the dead
DmDm
I am the harvester of the soul meat
DmDm
And I suck the lives from around my bed
DmDm
My own two sons I gave them breath
DmDm
And I filled their living corpses with my bile
DmDm
What humanity I knew I have long forgotten
DmDm
For me eternity is nothing but a short while
DmDm
