Wake The Dead Lyrics

Wake The Dead Lyrics

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
