Waking the Dead Lyrics

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 no
So we'll wait till the stroke of the midnight hour
Then we'll unleash 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 no
I'm not dead, i'm not dead, I'm not dead

Waking the dead, waking the dead
Waking the dead, waking the dead

Silence is blaring the earth opens wide
History repeats, reburied they die
Darkness descends through nature's pores
Now 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
Heal the sick
Cleanse the lepers
Cast out demons
Wake the dead!

Wake the dead, wake the dead, wake the dead
