Waking the Dead - Suicidal Tendencies

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 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

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

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 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

Waking the dead you said that it wouldn't be

Waking the dead you said that we wouldn't see Waking the dead you said that we wouldn't alright

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 wake the dead

I wake the dead I wake the dead

Cleanse the lepers

Cast out the demons

Wake the dead
