Lyrics

(Hammill)

Yes I live in the black woods, where you dare not even
Speak my name
If there is evil in your heart and you will come near to me you will
Lose your sane
My form is mystic, but my heart is pure
You'd better believe what I say:
I am the necromancer

I cast deep spells and potent: I am a seer
Of the real
My forces work against evil, for I love
All I feel
I know the secrets long forgotten
You'd better believe in me:
I am the necromancer

Look into my eyes!
I tell you, occults power lies in love
I fight against darkness, the power
Of the black

Every day the power is greater, and soon the world will
Come to rights
Through the magic, through the power, shaman shall die
On the seventh night
And now remember magic is here;
You'd better believe in the white

I am the necromancer
And I come to carry your heart away to good
