House of Bones

Speak to me father from beyond the grave
 Come to me mother I have found the way
 Here in the darkness where they cannot see
 Call on the saints to set the spirits free
 Bone, blood, and ash offered to the well
 Open the doorway from heaven and hell
 Mansions like graveyards, foundations of the past
 Death has been turned and life begins at last
 Our legacy was buried
 Our names unknown
 The bodies may be lost
 But their souls live on and on
 In the house of bones
 Deeper through the swampland, there is music here again
 Raging from the house built on the backs of stolen men
 Blood bound to the earth where bodies lie in unmarked graves
 Two hundred years of servitude from the children of their slaves
 The house of bones will rise
 The voodoo in my blood can't be denied
 The time has come for the servants of the past
 To rise again and sing with pride
 In the house of bones
 Harmless little hexes and a curse upon their name
 Their egotistic cruelty was the only thing to blame
 A plague falls upon the home and carries loved ones to the ground
 The mistress of the house is dragged into the swamp and drowned
 The house of bones will rise
 The voodoo in my blood can't be denied
 The time has come for the servants of the past
 To rise again and sing with pride
 In the house of bones
 The house of bones will rise
 The voodoo in my blood can't be denied
 The time has come for the servants of the past
 To rise again and sing with pride
 In the house of bones
 You know that judgment for your sins will come to pass
 And you know the tyranny of greed can never last
 You can't escape the past
 The time has come for the lost forgotten souls to stake their claim
 Rise above, sing, proclaim
 They can never erase your name
 Your blood cannot be tamed
