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
