Kept in the guard of Mother Nature's womb
|
Resting in the safety of their tomb
|
Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock
|
The spade is the key with which their gate we'll unlock
|
Why should they be resting so peacefully
|
When we're up above in pure misery
|
I don't care that they've already died
|
That's not enough to make me satisfied
|
|
So we wait till the stroke of the midnight hour
|
Then we'll unleas the darkest of power
|
Hell's gates will open a new judgment day
|
Now is the time that the dead will pay
|
Why should they be resting so peacefully
|
When we're up above in pure misery
|
I don't care that they've already died
|
That's not enough to make me satisfied
|
Waking the dead, waking the dead, waking the dead
|
|
All rise!
|
Hell's gates open the earth trembles and shakes
|
Now their pardons are over they pray for their mistakes
|
Mausoleums firebombed now rage in flames
|
When the dead come out their bodies we'll maim
|
|
Rob-Robbing their graves stealing their bones
|
Bang-Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
|
Fix-Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
|
Soon-Soon we will know how good it feels
|
|
This is not damnation or an act of God
|
Now the dead they rise ripping through the sod
|
Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be
|
The dead are free-the dead are free!
|
|
Waking the dead-you said that it wouldn't be
|
Waking the dead-You said that we wouldn't see
|
Waking the dead-Now the dead stand before our own eyes
|
|
Silence is blaring the earth opens wide
|
History repeats, reburied they die
|
Darkness descends through nature's pores
|
They return to their sleep on earth's basement floor
|
Now they rest not so peacefully
|
As they've had a taste of our misery
|
I didn't care that they'd already died
|
That wasn't enough to make me satisfied
|
|
Return back to their tombs now they lay
|
This is no game for the novice to play
|
Repeat not a word lest ye be forewarned
|
The punishment of Hell's darkness and scorn
|
Repeat not a word of the sermon said
|
A prayer for the dead, don't play with the dead
|
Don't try to comprehend what's going on
|
You can't understand, please don't understand
|
|
Waking the dead-And we'll be
|
Waking the dead-All rise now
|
Waking the dead-We're gonna wake the dead
|
Waking the dead
|
|
I said the words what have I done
|
I thought it cool, I thought it fun
|
The words I say they start to change
|
The syllables now rearranged
|
A language I can't comprehend
|
I shut my mouth it doesn't end
|
The bowels of nature open wide
|
I cannot move I cannot hide
|
I can't believe the things I see
|
The dead are free, the dead are free
|
I close my eyes and pray it's not real
|
Their presence close coldness I feel
|
What have I done Lord please forgive
|
Once they died, but now they live
|
I wake the dead, I ake the dead, I wake the dead, I wake the
|
dead!
|
|
Cleanse the lepers
|
Cast out the demons
|
Wake the dead!
