Lyrics Below



CHORUS I
Don’t ever summon a Bonewraith
from the pale fields of the bonewastes
Don’t ever summon a Bonewraith
or they’ll turn your bones to dust


VERSE I
You know my dad was from the Sadlands
he was a bad man and he had plans
Ya see my mom was really headstrong
they didn't get along she called him dead wrong
but she was the one he wanted dead
He couldn’t do the deed so he thought instead


CHORUS II
I’m gonna summon a Bonewraith
from the pale fields of the Bonewastes
I’m gonna summon a Bonewraith
and they’ll turn her bones to dust




VERSE II
He took my mother to a graveyard
It wasn’t so hard… he caught her off guard
My father tied her to a tombstone
lit candles in a row around a pile of bones
Then he told the tale of an angry ghost
The Bonewraiths, they came and killed them both


CHORUS III
That’s how you summon a Bonewraith
from the pale fields of the Bonewastes
That’s how you summon a Bonewraith
but they’ll turn your bones to dust


BRIDGE 
I watched my dad... turn to dust
and my mother’s face faded away
and the Bonewraiths gathered round
they sang a song... I heard them say...


OUTRO 
we see a pale field of tooth and bone
unending bleached by the sun
it shall outlive and they shall stretch on
forever we’ll build our fields of bone
everywhere we reach we shall spread      
our ground of bones
like a wave across the desert of death
