Climb out of the pit
Join in the game
Fresh throats to slit, yeah
Tonight was made for pain
Flesh out of spirit
Come alive
Under the mutant sky
They wanna walk the earth
Underground, in the tomb
They rise with the moon
Gathering power
Waking the dead
Beating the thunder drums
Waking the dead
Now! Now!
Come on
From houses of ice
And halls out of time
Shadows are rising
Smoke eats the sky
Out of the fire
To choke
At the end of the rope
The dead will walk again
Underground, in the tomb
They're casting the runes
Gathering power
Waking the dead
Beating the thunder drums
Waking the dead
Now! Now!
Waking the dead
Beating the thunder drums
Waking the dead
Now! Now! Now!
Beyond all hunger
Beyond all pain
Come and get it
Flesh out of spirit born tonight
They wanna walk the earth
Underground, in the tomb
They rise with the moon
Gathering power
Waking the dead
Beating the thunder drums
Waking the dead
Now! Now!
Waking the dead
Beating the thunder drums
Waking the dead
Here they sine

Yeah yeah yeah...
This is the noise that I make when I wake the dead
Oceans collide inside my head
I have no fear, no use for pain
I am omnipotent
Yeah yeah yeah
Come wake the dead
Waking the dead
Waking the dead
Yeah yeah yeah...
This is the noise that I play when I raise the dead
Can't get this song out of my head
Black zombie radio
Come with me where I go
Yeah yeah yeah
Come wake the dead
Waking the dead
Waking the dead
Yeah yeah yeah
Come wake the dead
Waking the dead
Waking the dead
I have no fear
No use for pain, pain, pain, pain
Oceans collide inside my head, head, head, head
Raise the dead, dead
Raise the dead, dead
Raise the dead....

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
CHORUS
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!
CHORUS
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

You only miss it when it's long gone
You only hear it when it's our song
These are the echoes of the dream time
This is a message from another life
This is a haunting of your own mind
These are the echoes of the dream time
You only miss it when it's long gone
I've been waking the dead
I've been leaning on tradition
Trying to make amends with the dead
Prayer candles that I burn at both ends
Missed opportunities we won't share again
I recognized in the touch of a friend
That I am closer to the place I began
And so far from where I want it to end
You only miss it when it's long gone
You only hear it when it's our song
Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down
Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down
And now I'm walking with the dead
An apparition trying to get ahead
Bleed some pressure from this hole in my heavy head
And there was high water everywhere
Back teeth are swimming and I wished I cared
My teeth are swimming and I wish that I cared
You only miss it when it's long gone
You only hear it when it's our song
Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down
Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down
And I feel like making a confession
Or running for the door
If we could heal a little bit of this broken pride
We might survive
These are the echoes of the dream time
This is a message from another life
This is a haunting of your own mind
These are the echoes of the dream time

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!
