Wake The Dead Lyrics
This is not natural
A bunch of holes where the dead used to be underground
Forget supernatural 'cause all those resting in peace are out walking the streets
Yeah with no heartbeat
This is not possible
An empty hole in your chest where your heart used to beat
Does this mean what I think it means?
Just how could both you and me be about as dead as we could be
Yeah with no heartbeat
Take a walk with me, Walk with the dead
'Cause you knew that we had to die sometime
Well darling, Tonight could be
Let your voice shred miles of diamond skies
Just to walk as they wake in the darkness
Well darling tonight could be a beautiful night to die
Across the sky they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
All alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you wake the dead.
A bunch of holes where the dead used to be underground
Forget supernatural 'cause all those resting in peace are out walking the streets
Yeah with no heartbeat
An empty hole in your chest where your heart used to beat
Does this mean what I think it means?
Just how could both you and me be about as dead as we could be
Yeah with no heartbeat
'Cause you knew that we had to die sometime
Well darling, Tonight could be
Just to walk as they wake in the darkness
Well darling tonight could be a beautiful night to die
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
All alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you wake the dead.

GO alk3crimson!!!! I TOTALLY fucking agree man. afith120 do us all a favor and post the songs in the correct order. lemme help you out here verse one chorus verse two chorus and so on.
jees.
this song is good as well, I think it's cute.
songmeanings really need to add an option to EDIt and CORRECT lyrics, particularly as a number of them are put up before the final song versions are realsed, or are put up by illiterate idiots. on other news, this song rocks. i heart zombiez. not so big on the slow bridge because thursday did the exact same thing in At This Velocity. otherwise rocks.
In my opinion, its a song about society, likening people to the dead, generalising people to all have the same routine, and mindlessly go about their everyday lives without any real thought or care.
afitch1206: good job on fucking up every single song that you posted lyrics to. you already have the lyrics, why put them in the wrong order? I guess you're just that cool.
hahaha
hahaha
EXACTLY. why the fuck do people do this shit?!? maybe he just copy and pasted it.. but is paraghraphically dislexic!

What wrong order?
Anyway this song is fucking awesome... So detailed and expressive... props to the Used.
Btw, this song takes a listen or two to get into. Then you'll love it.
By the way also, lyrically its confusing at best, what I admire is the vocals here ;)
I think this one is obviously about raising the dead, and in the end, leaving with them This song is sooooooooo badass I love the part "Across the sky they can hear you from the other side, a scream thats loud enough to wake the dead"
yeah the slow bridge confuses, but well he's also capable of doing normal singing stuff there...
woahh ahh ahhh smth like that fuck
I think the slow bit is confusing too but i fkn love his singing in it. So much. Again, i love this album.
the whole ahhhh ahhhh yeaahhhhh part sounds like a girl is singing it, great song though.
