lyrics

Summon ancient gods unknown
Earth, sea, and sky
Forgotten prayers are heard tonight
Where the sleepers lie
Revolve around the sun each day
A debt you never will repay

Stimulate dormant sense
A blessing and a curse
The outcome I have come to dread
Turns out to be worse
Incantations elder speak
High on Marshall Hill
Thunderheads like battlements
Gather for the kill

Holding fast to fading dreams
Awakened by the distant screams
Jackboots in the streets below
Coming for the one you know
Holds the key to ancient tomb
Now we exhume

Crypt of Rodan
Gaunt of the night
Nocturnal clan
Dark wings lift us and take flight

Born again - life unto dust
Bones that lay fossilized
Break the surface crust
Wings of terror now unveiled
A mortuary shroud
Cast its doom laden shadow
Over fleeing crowds

Solstice at the equinox
Sacred spell is cast
Prayers unheard for countless years
Answered now at last
Leather wings eclipse the sun
Designs of men now come undone

Repeat prechorus and chorus
