Song for the dead

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

You can't hide away ah from the wickedness
You can't hide away here come the devil to steal your soul

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 should reach out with our hands

You can't hide away ah from the wickedness
You can't hide away here come the devil to steal your soul

There are 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 mind
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, I promise to one day come home)

Don't ride your tears, just call on the devil to sooth your soul
Don't ride your fears
