No Mercy - Waking the Dead lyrics

Kept in the guard of Mother Nature's womb Rest in the safety of their tomb Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock The spade is the key which their gate we'll unlock Why should they rest so peacefully When we're up above in pure misery I don't care that they already died Well that's not enough to make me satisfied Waking the dead, waking the dead Wake the dead, wake the dead Waking the dead Wait 'til the stroke of the midnight hour Then we'll set loose the darkest of power Hell's gates will open a new Judgement Day Now is the time the dead will pay Why should they rest so peacefully When we're up above in pure misery I don't care that they already died Well that's not enough to make me satisfied Waking the dead, waking the dead Wake the dead, wake the dead Waking the dead Tearing over tombstones, thunder blasts from the sky Now we feel the tears that they cry Mausoleums firebombed now rage in flame When the dead come out, they're 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 even time cannot heal (Soon) soon we will know how good it feels Waking the dead, waking the dead Wake the dead, wake the dead Waking the dead Hell's gates open, earth trembles and shakes Now their pardons are over, they pay for their mistakes Purgatory hammers, they can do them no good But did they really think that they would (Rob) robbing their graves, stealing their bones (Bang) banging our heads to their screams and their moans (Fix) fixing the wounds even time cannot heal (Soon) soon we will know how good it feels (Waking the dead), you said that it couldn't be (Waking the dead), you said that we wouldn't see (Waking the dead), you said that it was all lies (Waking the dead), now the dead stand before your own eyes (Rob) robbing their graves, stealing their bones (Bang) banging our heads to their screams and their moans (Fix) fixing the wounds even time cannot heal (Soon) soon we will know how good it feels Waking the dead, waking the dead Wake the dead, wake the dead Waking the dead 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 even time cannot heal (Soon) soon we will know how good it feels Silence is blaring, the earth opens wide History repeats, reburied they die Darkness descends through nature's pores Now returned to their sleep under earth basement floors 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 Waking the dead, waking the dead Wake the dead, wake the dead Waking the dead Return back to their tombs, now they lay This is no game for the novice to play Repeat not the 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, alright now Wake the dead, wake the dead Waking the dead Waking the dead, and we'll be Waking the dead, alright now, listen, hear I said the words, what have I done I thought it was cool, I thought it was 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, pray it's not real The presence close, coldness I feel What have I done, Lord please forgive Once they died, but now they love I wake the dead, I wake the dead I wake the dead, I wake the dead
