[Intro]
N.C.
Here is the soul of a man
N.C.
Here in this place for the taking
N.C.
Clothed in white, stand in the light
N.C.
Here is the soul of a man
N.C.
Time to speak with the shaman again
N.C.
Conjure the jester again
N.C.
Black dog in the ruins is howling my name
N.C.
So here is the soul of a man

Dm C When the world was virgin before the coming of men Dm Bb C Just a solar witness, the beginning of the end Dm C From a world of magma to a cold rock face Dm Bb C Am G Dm Am The ascent of madness and a human raaaaaaace Dm C We are strange believers all of us Dm Bb C There are stranger truths immortal lust Dm C We rise from slumber he calls our name Dm Bb C Am G Dm Am Recalls our number abide with paaaaaaain

[Verse 2]
Dm C To god’s illusion which I recall Dm Bb C Was our delusion before the fall Dm C The angels come and the angels go Dm Bb C Am G Dm Am But the lord of light shining beloooooooow Dm C Eternal blackness beyond the stars Dm Bb C We think our wisdom will get that far Dm C At the master’s table, the table’s bare Dm Bb C Am G Dm A No land of plenty, devastation, despaaaaair

[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
