Raise the Dead Lyrics by Bathory

In Memory Of Quorthon Vol. II

1984

[Intro]
Dust to dust

[Verse 1]
I gasp for air, I scream for sight
And fight against torment and dread
Calling the vengeance, I tear at the lid
And promise to raise from the dead

[Chorus]
Raise the dead
Raise the dead
Raise the dead

[Verse 2]
Black witch of beauty, all Hell's necromancers
Give me the powers of Hell
Mistress of curse, reapers and vultures
Demons stand up and chime the bell

[Chorus]
Raise the dead
Raise the dead
Raise the dead

[Bridge]
Hear the infernal legions plea
We shall rise

[Verse 3]
Suddenly powers comes from within
Muscles and mind are filled with wrath
I burst out in frenzy, powers of Hell
And break up the tomb and the dark

[Chorus]
Raise the dead
Raise the dead
Raise the dead
