Wake the Dead lyrics

When your name is spoken then your soul awakes as well

And there is no limit to the power of the spell

You can never leave it, you can never let it lie

You must find the speaker, for one of you must die, hey

The name

The name's the same

The name

The name's the game

All your lives are on the line

All your lives are on the line

And all your life you know you're dying

What you know, you must not tell

What you know, you must not sell

All the secrets you can keep

All the lies you cannot speak

Everybody steals your time

Thousand voices in your head

Everybody, everybody

Shouting fit to wake the dead

When you see the Devil, then you're looking for relief

And there is no justice, keep your tongue between your teeth

You can be the Devil but you cannot count the cost

All your time is wasted, all your love is lost

The name

The name's the same

The name

Play the game

You can never be the one

You can never be the one

When you know all your love is gone

What you know, you must not tell

What you know, you must not sell

All the secrets you can keep

All the lies you cannot speak

Everybody steals your time

Remember me and what I said

Everybody, everybody

Shouting fit to wake the dead

When you are alone here, in the houses of the blind

Don't you ever wonder what happened to the time?

You cannot regain it, you cannot bring it back

You must grin and bear it, stretched out on the rack, hey

The name

The name's the same

The name

The name's the game

You will never know the truth

You will never know the truth

We both know you will never look

What you have is yours, my friend

You will never see the end

All your future gone to hell

All your past an empty shell

You can't keep your secret self

Safe inside upon the shelf

You are not the Antichrist

You are not the Lord of Flies

You are not important now

You are not the one to dread

Everybody, everybody

The name

The name's the game
