Only the Dead (Can Hear) lyrics

The underworld, A darkened place Left in silence you crawl Purgatory, Your deep disgrace You can hear they screaming for your soul The afterlife, So damp and cold They're placing judgment on all There's no castle, no stairs of gold And through the blackness you can hear them call A lake of fire, or heaven's holy light It's your desire. Black candles in the night The hierophant and the jester Are wielding the ace of wands They're souls for hire We're all just rooks and pawns The saint and the sinner are all just one and the same The loser and the winner, at least still playing the game Now we end this chapter of this afterlife Swimming much faster to avoid the antichrist
