The Singing Skull - The Crypt Keeper Lyrics

The Crypt Keeper
[Pipe Organ]
*(Verse 1)*
Down beneath the graveyard's stone,
Where shadows dwell and the wind's a moan,
The Crypt Keeper sings a deadly tune,
By the light of the blood-red moon.

With bones for keys and chains for strings,
He plays a melody that sorrow brings,
The dead rise up to hear the sound,
A dirge that calls them from the ground.
[Pipe Organ]
*(Chorus)*
In the Crypt Keeper's song, the dead awaken,
Bound to the rhythm, their souls forsaken,
A haunting tune that chills the bone,
Once you hear it, you're never alone.
Dance with the dead, and join their throng,
Forever lost in the Crypt Keeper's song.
[Pipe Organ]
*(Verse 2)*
The crypts are filled with whispers cold,
Of stories long forgotten, untold,
The Keeper hums as he walks the tomb,
His music fills the endless gloom.

Each note he plays with careful care,
Summons the spirits from their lair,
And as the graves begin to quake,
Another soul he'll soon remake.
[Pipe Organ]

*(Chorus)*
In the Crypt Keeper's song, the dead awaken,
Bound to the rhythm, their souls forsaken,
A haunting tune that chills the bone,
Once you hear it, you're never alone.
Dance with the dead, and join their throng,
Forever lost in the Crypt Keeper's song.
[Pipe Organ]

*(Bridge)*
He plays for the lost, the broken, the damned,
His song a curse, a spectral command,
The living beware, for once you hear,
You'll dance with the dead, forever near.

*(Chorus)*
In the Crypt Keeper's song, the dead awaken,
Bound to the rhythm, their souls forsaken,
A haunting tune that chills the bone,
Once you hear it, you're never alone.
Dance with the dead, and join their throng,
Forever lost in the Crypt Keeper's song.

*(Outro)*
Now the graveyard hums with eerie sound,
As the dead arise from the hallowed ground.
The Crypt Keeper smiles, his work is long,
And you'll be next in the Crypt Keeper's song.
