Raise the Dead (Church Hall Rehearsals 1979) - Venom

Rising from my deadly tomb I’ve got

maddened eyes with fright

fingers bleeding fast heart beating

the moons my only light

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If God won’t have me, then the Devil must

we will raise the dead

we will raise the dead

we will raise the dead

stop at nothing raise the dead

Gaze across the blackened yard

my mind is filled with dread

so give me all the powers of Hell

and I’ll raise the dead

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The hotter the fire, the greater the lust

I hear the star of the Necromancer

my blood is black and my heart doth bleed

I am infernal and my mind’s in torment

I’ll raise the dead make the world unclean

Laughing as my legions rise

control the zombies mind

I hold Hell close to my breast

I’m leaving God behind

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I’ll enter hellfire, I’ll break the crust
