Wake the Dead

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

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
