You made a promise of protection To a future after life To the final resurrection Unto eternal paradise But then I'm blinded with temptation Into every mortal sin Is it God that sits there waiting Or will the darkness suck me in? Let's wake up the dead (Oh yeah) It's better than never, you know More tears are shed (Oh yeah) I'm praying that you'll never know That I'm facing hell ♪ Oh the children sit and listen, the belief was in their eyes In a land with no tomorrows, through the night you hear their cries But then your eyes just skip the pages of a book that never ends Is it God that sits there waiting Do you hear the call again? Let's wake up the dead (Oh yeah) It's better than never, you know More tears are shed (Oh yeah) I'm praying that you'll never know That I'm facing hell ♪ It's just a crazy world we live in and I'm out of my mind You'll pray tomorrow but you're leaving today Evil one is coming and he's knocking your door 'Cause today's the day you pay Let's wake up the dead (Oh yeah) It's better than never, you know More tears are shed (Oh yeah) I'm praying that you'll never know ♪ That I'm facing hell
