Raise The Dead Lyrics

(Recorded June 1984. Released on album "Bathory", October 1984)

"Dust to dust"...
I gasp for air
I scream for sight
and fight against
torment and dread
Calling the vengeance
I tear at the lid
and promise to raise
from the dead

RAISE THE DEAD  [RAISE THE DEAD  RAISE THE DEAD]

Black witch of beauty
all hell's necromancers
give me the powers of hell
Mistress of curse
reapers and vultures
Demons stand up
and chime the bell

RAISE THE DEAD  [RAISE THE DEAD  RAISE THE DEAD]

[*** from *** ***
 we shall rise]

Suddenly powers comes
from within
Muscles and mind are
filled with wrath
I burst out in frenzy
powers of hell
and break up the
tomb and the dark

RAISE THE DEAD  [RAISE THE DEAD  RAISE THE DEAD]
