Wake the Dead Songtext
von The Damned

Lay her down
Pale as the autumn moon
Light the candles in the upstairs room
Where she walked
In a night blacker than bombazine
Remember her only as she was

When you were the spectral groom
And she the bride beside the tomb
We′ll rise tonight, forever
Rise, together

They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We′ll wake the dead


Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead

When the clocks go back we'll meet again
Where the fingers of the winter trees touch the sun
With the ether thin between our worlds
And as we end, so we are begun

Like ships
Thrown around in gales
With the ragged clouds
For their tattered sails
We'll rise tonight, forever
Rise, together

They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell it′s said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We′ll wake the dead


Tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We′ll wake the dead

They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We′ll wake the dead
