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 Wake the dead Wake the dead Wake the dead 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 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 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
