Song of the Dead

There is darkness, there are shadows
There are voices that echo below
There is terror, there is anger
That follows wherever we go

You can't hide away
Oh, from the wicked one, oh no
You can't hide away
Here comes the devil to steal your soul

I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on
I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on

We are empty, we are foolish
We try, but we can't understand
When the evil comes a-calling
We must reach out with our hands

You can't hide away
Oh, from the wicked one, oh no
You can't hide away
Here comes the devil to steal your soul

I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on
I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on

When you can cry, your heart will feel the world
Come crawling through your lie
When you can dream, the nights will be easier
Easier for you and for me

Oh, my darling, I must tell you
Today I must go off to war
Don't be frightened, don't be lonely
Promise to one day come home

Don't hide your tears
Just call on the devil to sooth your soul
No, don't hide your fears
Here comes the wicked one, oh no

I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on
I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on

I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on
I hear voices that sing me the song of the dead
I hear them calling me on

Welcome to my nightmare
Welcome to my nightmare
Welcome to my nightmare
Sweet death
