Lay her down
Pale as the autumn moon
Light the candles in the upstairs room
Where she walked
In a night blacker than bombazine
Remember her only as she was
When you were the spectral groom
And she the bride beside the tomb
We'll rise tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
When the clocks go back, we'll meet again
Where the fingers of the winter trees touch the sun
With the ether thin between our worlds
And as we end, so we are begun
Like ships
Thrown around in gales
With the ragged clouds
For their tattered sails
We'll rise tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
Tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
Pale as the autumn moon
Light the candles in the upstairs room
Where she walked
In a night blacker than bombazine
Remember her only as she was
When you were the spectral groom
And she the bride beside the tomb
We'll rise tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
When the clocks go back, we'll meet again
Where the fingers of the winter trees touch the sun
With the ether thin between our worlds
And as we end, so we are begun
Like ships
Thrown around in gales
With the ragged clouds
For their tattered sails
We'll rise tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
Tonight, forever
Rise, together
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead
They never sleep
They only keep on burning
In hell, it's said
The fires are fed
With yearning, yet
We'll wake the dead

So glad after all these years RP is finally playing The Damnned. A killer band in concert and I should know, I have seen them 21 times in concert!
Interesting fact...Chuck Prophet just released a song with the same title. Listening to both there's no chance of claiming infringement. Both artists must be feeling their mortality?? Hmmm which one or BOTH for my funeral? :-)
I saw they were touring but didn't know they had new stuff. New-ish.
Classic band - surprised and pleased to hear it on RP! Shocked they have a new album.
Damn, this is good!
Ooooh - first comment. Not bad - kinda dark and twisty and very retro.
