Wake The Dead Lyrics by Creature Feature

American Gothic

2015

[Verse 1]
Dressed in black
Join the pact
Through the dark
We have embarked
Endless nights
Shunned by light
Condemned to earth
We will have rebirth

[Pre-Chorus]
Seances and ceremonies
Behind closed doors
Abandoned words and ancient symbols
Carved in the floor
Singing psalms and burning candles
In the graveyard
We must eradicate this vicious
Killer at large

[Chorus]
It’s far too late to stop this
As we journey into darkness
Where gods fear to tread
The time has come to be renewed
And now before the night is through
We’ll wake the dead

[Verse 2]
Dead inside
Breathe new life
Free your bones
From the catacombs
Take control
Of your soul
The heavens weep
As you rise from sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Seances and ceremonies
Behind closed doors
Abandoned words and ancient symbols
Carved in the floor
Singing psalms and burning candles
In the graveyard
We must eradicate this vicious
Killer at large

[Chorus]
It’s far too late to stop this
As we journey into darkness
Where gods fear to tread
The time has come to be renewed
And now before the night is through
We’ll wake the dead

[Verse 3]
Brimstone and alchemy
Wormwood and witchery
Coffin nails and effigies
Clairvoyance and prophecies
Graveyard dust and sorcery
Second sight and fates foreseen

The flame is quickly growing dim
The air is swiftly growing thin
And something stirs from deep within
(The pale rider draws near)

The earth begins to crack and groan
The wind begins to howl and moan
And now I fear we’re not alone
(The night caller is here)

[Chorus]
It’s far too late to stop this
As we journey into darkness
Where gods fear to tread
The time has come to be renewed
And now before the night is through
We’ll wake the dead
