To the Grave 05:04
Condemned to die a death ridden with grief Endless sorrow is hidden deep beneath Lay down in a casket made of filth You will live your last drowning in guilt The crypt is opening From death you can't be saved Your irredeemable mistakes Will follow you to the grave (Leads: Blumenfeld) [Drew Blood:] Lies and deceit become your legacy A pale shadow of what you wished to be No one will know the secrets that you keep In the grave finally, now you can sleep [Micah Adams:] The crypt is opening From death you won't be saved Your unforgivable mistakes Will follow you to the grave (Solo: Hiber) [Garrett Alvarado:] The crypt is opening From death you can't be saved Your irredeemable mistakes Will follow you to the grave [Andrew MV:] The crypt is opening From death you won't be saved Your unforgivable mistakes Will follow you to the grave

Tangled in a web of deception My soul is hers to receive Poison hidden in ambrosia I am dying on my knees I promised her everything After she had taken it all first Don't drink the holy water Or you might just die of thirst Drained of that which lets me survive Collapse into her embrace of deceit She will keep me alive To cower at her feet (Solo: Blumenfeld) (Solo: Schrampfer) The net of her web gets tighter Asphyxiating me more by the hour I cannot fight her Destroying angel has me in her power (Solo: Hiber)
3.
(Lead: Blumenfeld) Do not cry, my dearest love For though I may be gone I've gone into the afterlife I've found a world beyond And when you too have lost your life We will meet again Believe me from experience Death is not the end I needed to leave the Earth Where I have suffered endlessly Ever since my birth I needed to find my peace But when I look down on you I hate what I see You're death-obsessed Let me go You're death-obsessed It's not the end I know (Solo: Blumenfeld) I had grown world-weary I wanted eternal rest But ever since I've left You've become death-obsessed You must forget my name You have to let me go Though you can't hear my cries Death's not the end, I know I have watched you become cold and weak Just because you long for me Death is what you seek So now I beg of you to dig me from my grave Maybe if you behold me Your life can still be saved You're death-obsessed Let me go You're death-obsessed You're death-obsessed, I know With a spade Your longing soon will fade As you exhume Open up my tomb Take me from My final resting place And gaze upon My maggot-ridden face (Solo: Hiber) (Solo: Blumenfeld)
4.
Life: The unanswered question Spiraling into the abyss Suffering is all that makes sense The only solution I insist Mutiny, rebellion arrives Eternal damnation shall prevail As you search through life’s deception It’s clear we’re all born to die (Lead: Schrampfer) As time shall pass My palms, they sweat All I’ve been told confronts me slowly These scenic lies we all perceive Swallow the fact that no one told me Belial times, they soon emerge A clairvoyance, suddenly I see... The opaque malevolence [Chorus:] Invisible to the naked eye I must resist, for trickery lurks Improbable, an unknown hell Chaos is near, time is running out Epiphany, the vision’s here Do not obey, none are trustworthy Take your time, the end greets you warm All that is said shall not be trusted [Bridge:] (Lead: Hiber) Stay away from what dwells within None are safe from the lies they dispute Nothing left, all dignity gone Now I have everything to risk A portrait of deception, denial The things that I can’t comprehend Take it all, my soul shall be yours Does no good to me on it’s own Get me out, a metaphorical cage Dusk breaks as my downfall comes near Ashes lay Confusion sets into my brain Death greets in vain, around the corner The time is now, revolution Advanced warfare, becomes the new norm Options run out, enforced labor is all that’s left Suddenly I see… The opaque malevolence [Chorus] [Bridge] (Solo: Blumenfeld + Hiber) Clarity, the vision I see The imagery takes a dark turn Equality is nonexistent Save your breath, for it brings no good Randomized are our social views Logic remains no more Sanctity, for there’s none left Unholy thoughts lay to waste in my brain Sensible words exist no more Same fucking guilt bleeds into my life The greed remains, the good does not A toxic cult, our world has become Brain cells decline, ribcages crushed What not to be, suddenly I see… The opaque malevolence [Chorus]

The hordes have risen To take our feeble lives Zombie apocalypse Lies on the horizon Cold bodies swarming Ascended from hell The timekeeper of humanity Tolls the final bell There's nothing we can do To prevent this resurgence Judgement Day has arrived Humanity is doomed [Chorus:] Shelter is nonexistent No way to escape death We all cower in fear In the face of Armageddon The Necromancer Raised dead from their graves Spreading disgust and disease With his zombie slaves Slashing through the mortal With rotting crooked teeth Devoured by countless stiffs We are utterly helpless Consuming all life they see Leaving trails of filth Infected corpses Bring evil to the Earth Supplies are running low The greedy taking plenty The poor are left to die In this hellish nightmare [Chorus] (Lead: Blumenfeld) (Schrampfer:) Absence of hope becomes visible Time running short Rise from dust For now you must Save yourself For human flesh they strive ...to rend our flesh from our bone To build an army of their own There's nowhere left to run The human race is done We're ripped to shreds by jagged nails The evil dead will soon prevail Muscle and bone rended from flesh Our species gasps its final breath (Solo: Blumenfeld) (Solo: Hiber) We have no chances left To escape from the corpses Our only option now Is simply to surrender [Chorus] Conjuring the necromancer Conjuring the dead
6.
Brainwashed children conditioned To kneel before the cross Twisted into submission We mourn the thoughts they've lost Lies soak into their minds Soon they too do evil deeds So now it's time to bring on The reckoning this world needs [Chorus:] They only grow up to lie and persecute Our only solution is to execute But to spare humanity a little while Crush the convent, kill the child Servants to a false prophet They preach only blind allegiant hate Death: The ultimate resolution This must be their fate Merciless, the pain they must face To pay for their lies and deceit Satan, the only true master Whose words must now be preached [Chorus] (Solo: Hiber) (Solo: Blumenfeld / Hiber / Blumenfeld / Hiber) Ash rains down from the sky As the church goes up in flames Smoke burns their throats As the heat melts their wicked brains Collapsing rubble and dust From which they cannot escape Banished from the mortal realm They'll never find heaven's gate [Chorus] Crush the convent, kill the child Crush the convent, kill the child now

Critical acclaim for 'Conjuring the Necromancer:'

"Begravement does a stupendous job at their first go... I will consider it a downright tragedy if it doesn’t make other fans all throughout the scene stroke their beards/hair in intrigue." -Head-Banger Reviews
