LYRICS
Plagued by fear and the marching hours of this aching night
Death comes near in the absence of light

Sound the town bell
Hear the death knell
Fresh corpse in the glistening mud
A vagrant creature in search for blood
Sound the town bell

The cursed dead will fill themselves with life from my pulsating throat tonight
Blighted fight, nocturnal bite

Sound the town bell
Hear the death knell
A fresh corpse found in the glistening mud
A vagrant creature in search for blood
Sound the town bell

Risen from a shallow grave
Kill by kill, regaining form
A lonely soul that could not be saved
Born again, violent storm
Morning draws near
Even the great hunter must sleep
It must disappear
As all the villagers weep

Sound the town bell
Hear the death knell
A fresh corpse found in the glistening mud
A vagrant creature in search for blood
Sound the town bell
