Lyrics: [Verse 1] He came by pine and river stone With wolfskin at his shoulder The hounds had fled the blackened trail And dawn was growing colder A silver charm hung at his belt A stag horn stained with weather He read the ground like older men And took the hill together [Pre-Chorus] Down where the roots drank deep in dark The cave-mouth waited wide Old names were carved in frozen bone And old fear lived inside [Chorus] Gravebone cave, hold fast He stepped through frost and ash Gravebone cave, dark prayer The hunter met it there One helm, one scar, one eye of stone The dead king rose in rime and moan Gravebone cave, hold fast He walked out last [Verse 2] The Draugr woke in burial mail With hands of cracked old birchwood Its breath was salt and graveyard moss Its stare was winter cured It came with teeth of iron nails And wrath of buried battlegrounds He circled slow on slick wet rock While echo split the ground [Pre-Chorus] The walls ran red with torchless light The air grew heavy, thin He lifted spear and pressed the shade To meet him deep within [Chorus] Gravebone cave, hold fast He stepped through frost and ash Gravebone cave, dark prayer The hunter met it there One helm, one scar, one eye of stone The dead king rose in rime and moan Gravebone cave, hold fast He walked out last [Bridge] He drove the blade beneath the jaw And broke the curse in two The thing fell back in splintered steel And poured its ancient due When silence filled the ribbed black hall He knelt beside the slain And took the helm from under stone To mark the frozen rain [Final Chorus] Gravebone cave, hold fast He stepped through frost and ash Gravebone cave, dark prayer The hunter met it there One helm, one scar, one eye of stone The dead king rose in rime and moan Gravebone cave, hold fast He walked out last [Outro] By pine and river stone he came With dawn upon his leather And in his hand the trophy shone Like pale moon caught forever #fantasymusic #tabletoprpg #dnd #tavernmusic #bardmusic
