WAKING THE DEAD

This song was written by Steph as an opening number for Danse Macabre (hence the band's name check in the last verse) and was first performed at the Worcester Music Festival in August 2008. This song is taken from a musical Steph has written, Hermaphroditus, which may see the light of day at some point. Ash takes main vocals, with Taylor and Steph providing backing vocals.


WAKING THE DEAD
(Music / Lyrics: Steph)

Here we are to disturb your slumber,
You'd better beware; we've got your number,
Here before you, strangers in the night,
So hold each other tight.

Waking, waking, waking the dead,
Waking, waking, waking the dead.

Your senses are ours to use and abuse,
Heaven or hell, which do you chose?
Blood red passion, waiting to attack,
There's no turning back.

Waking, waking, waking the dead,
Waking, waking, waking the dead.

Is this for real, what you see, what you feel?
It's the eve of Judgement Day, so join the cabaret!

Hear the song of the lustful necromancer,
Sway to the beat of Danse Macabre,
We're here to seduce both friend and foe,
Welcome to the show.

Waking, waking, waking the dead,
Waking, waking, waking the dead.
