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