Lyrics
Wake The Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is not natural
A bunch of holes where the dead used to be underground
Forget supernatural 'cause all those resting in peace are out walking the streets
Yeah with no heartbeat
(Chorus)
Across the sky they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
All alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you wake the dead.
This is not possible
An empty hole in your chest where your heart used to beat
Does this mean what I think it means?
Just how could both you and me be about as dead as we could be
Yeah with no heartbeat
[Chorus]
Take a walk with me, Walk with the dead
'Cause you knew that we had to die sometime
Well darling, Tonight could be..
Let your voice shred miles of diamond skies
Just to walk as they wake in the darkness
Well darling tonight could be a beautiful night to die
Wake the dead(x4)
Across the sky they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
All alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you wake the dead.
