Waking The Dead Lyrics
Resting in the safety of their tombSheltered by six feet of soil and rockThe spade is the key with which their gate we'll unlockWhy should they be resting so peacefullyWhen we're up above in pure miseryI don't care that they've already diedThat's not enough to make me satisfiedSo we wait till the stroke of the midnight hourThen we'll unleas the darkest of powerHell's gates will open a new judgment dayNow is the time that the dead will payWhy should they be resting so peacefullyWhen we're up above in pure miseryI don't care that they've already diedThat's not enough to make me satisfiedWaking the dead, waking the dead, waking the deadAll rise!Hell's gates open the earth trembles and shakesNow their pardons are over they pray for their mistakesMausoleums firebombed now rage in flamesWhen the dead come out their bodies we'll maimCHORUSRob-Robbing their graves stealing their bonesBang-Banging our heads to their screams and their moansFix-Fixing the wounds that even time cannot healSoon-Soon we will know how good it feelsThis is not damnation or an act of GodNow the dead they rise ripping through the sodPurgatory has to wait, but how can this beThe dead are free-the dead are free!CHORUSWaking the dead-you said that it wouldn't beWaking the dead-You said that we wouldn't seeWaking the dead-Now the dead stand before our own eyesSilence is blaring the earth opens wideHistory repeats, reburied they dieDarkness descends through nature's poresThey return to their sleep on earth's basement floorNow they rest not so peacefullyAs they've had a taste of our miseryI didn't care that they'd already diedThat wasn't enough to make me satisfiedReturn back to their tombs now they layThis is no game for the novice to playRepeat not a word lest ye be forewarnedThe punishment of Hell's darkness and scornRepeat not a word of the sermon saidA prayer for the dead, don't play with the deadDon't try to comprehend what's going on You can't understand, please don't understandWaking the dead-And we'll beWaking the dead-All rise nowWaking the dead-We're gonna wake the deadWaking the deadI said the words what have I doneI thought it cool, I thought it funThe words I say they start to changeThe syllables now rearrangedA language I can't comprehendI shut my mouth it doesn't endThe bowels of nature open wideI cannot move I cannot hideI can't believe the things I seeThe dead are free, the dead are freeI close my eyes and pray it's not realTheir presence close coldness I feelWhat have I done Lord please forgiveOnce they died, but now they liveI wake the dead, I ake the dead, I wake the dead, I wake the dead!Cleanse the lepersCast out the demonsWake the dead!
