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
