lyrics

WAKE THE DEAD

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dead Beat
by Rufus Rex

supported by 16 fans who also own “Wake The Dead”

This album is heavy and brooding, while still remaining animated and interesting. The broad vocabulary and powerful vocals sell the Lovecraftian ideas. I am not a big fan of Metal and Hard Rock, but Rufus Rex and Creature Feature sell it well! mutinousbody

The Summoning
by Bloody Hammers

A bit of doom, a bit of gothic, and a pinch of straight edge rock 'n roll are the main ingredients for this Summoning ritual, unleashing a beast of an album that's sure to get its hooks in you! queenmona
