NECROPOLIS

Lyrics: NECRONOMIDOL
Music: ゼロツ (POIKKEUS)

This track is a homage to Danzig and T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), so the lyrical themes are rooted in 80’s punk. Ricky said there is a lot of borrowing from the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack, which is littered with punk songs. The overall lyrical content of the song has to do with taking back a dead city from the ghouls which have overrun and currently inhabit it.

English Lyrics

Vespers Cremains floating down
Voices of the dead gliding on nightwinds

Rest in peace
Our metropolis
Fists clenched in the graveyard of our hopes

Dawnbreak-illuminated vestiges
Jet-black animus
Not to be dispelled

Lightning scorches the heavens
Crimson fury
Overflowing

Out of the night
Out of the night
We unite

Cast you fear aside
As we pass our dying hour
In the midst of our city slain
We alone stand

When the warfires burn down
Raise your eyes from the vestiges
Sweeping away the ashes of our dreams

Into the light
Into the light
We unite

Cast you fear aside
As we pass our dying hour
In the midst of our city slain
We alone stand

When the warfires burn down
Raise your eyes from the vestiges
Sweeping away the ashes of our dreams

All corruption seared away
No treasonous ghouls will be spared
In the midst of our city slain
We alone rule

Vespers Cremains floating down
Voices of the dead gliding on nightwinds
