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
