Suicidal Tendencies - Waking The Dead Lyrics
Kept in the guard of mother natures wombResting in the safety of their tombSheltered by six feet of soil and rockThe spade is the key with which their gate well unlockWhy should they be resting so peacefullyWhen were up above in pure miseryI dont care that theyve already diedThats not enough to make me satisfiedSo we wait till the stroke of the midnight hourThen well unleas the darkest of powerHells gates will open a new judgment dayNow is the time that the dead will payWhy should they be resting so peacefullyWhen were up above in pure miseryI dont care that theyve already diedThats not enough to make me satisfiedWaking the dead, waking the dead, waking the deadAll rise!Hells 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 well 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 wouldnt beWaking the dead-you said that we wouldnt seeWaking the dead-now the dead stand before our own eyesSilence is blaring the earth opens wideHistory repeats, reburied they dieDarkness descends through natures poresThey return to their sleep on earths basement floorNow they rest not so peacefullyAs theyve had a taste of our miseryI didnt care that theyd already diedThat wasnt 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 hells darkness and scornRepeat not a word of the sermon saidA prayer for the dead, dont play with the deadDont try to comprehend whats going onYou cant understand, please dont understandWaking the dead-and well beWaking the dead-all rise nowWaking the dead-were 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 cant comprehendI shut my mouth it doesnt endThe bowels of nature open wideI cannot move I cannot hideI cant believe the things I seeThe dead are free, the dead are freeI close my eyes and pray its 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!
