Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead, the dead

Like a nightmare, terrorize

Ah-ah-ah a-ah

Tryna run but I'm paralyzed

Ah-ah-ah a-ah

Blaze with the rage who cage the flames of fire

Blaze like a beast to feast on my desire

Break, make me human, you can take me higher

Make the nightmare end

Make me somethin' real

I'm feelin' dead inside

Waitin' to come alive

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I need electric shock

Your love's the lightnin' rod

Wake up the dead man walkin'

Without love, not enough

Gotta taste, gotta touch you to feel you

Like fire in my veins

I'm feelin' dead inside

Waitin' to come alive

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I'm just a dead man walkin'

Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead man

Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead man

Bag o' bones but I got no blood

Ah-ah-ah a-ah

Comin' forth like Lazarus

Ah-ah-ah a-ah

Blaze with the rage, I'm caged in flames of fire

Blaze like a beast to feast on my desire

Break, make me human, you can take me higher

Make the nightmare end

Make me somethin' real

I'm feelin' dead inside

Waitin' to come alive

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I need electric shock

Your love's the lightnin' rod

Wake up the dead man walkin'

Without love, not enough

Gotta taste, gotta touch you to feel you

Like fire in my veins

I'm feelin' dead inside

Waitin' to come alive

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I'm wakin' up in a field of souls

My hands are twitchin' but my heart is cold

Can't stop from fallin'

Look out below

Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead man

Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead man

I'm feelin' dead inside

Waitin' to come alive

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I need electric shock

Your love's the lightnin' rod

Wake up the dead man walkin'

Without love, not enough

Gotta taste, gotta touch you to feel you

Like fire in my veins

I'm feelin' dead inside

Waitin' to come alive

I'm just a dead man walkin'

I'm just a dead man walkin'

Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead man

Bring out the dead, the dead

Bring out the dead man
