Lyrics
Verse
Oh, sleeper
Awake from your sleep (Eph. 5:13-15)
Climb out of your coffin
Quick to Listen and slow to speak (James 1:19)
I'll be the thorn in your side as long as you need. (2 Cor. 12:7-10)

Wake the Dead

Chorus
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I make the most of this?

Tonight, did I
Tonight, or die
Tonight, or die.
These are the worst of times.

Verse
Oh, sleeper
Awake from your sleep (Eph. 5:13-15)
Climb out of your coffin
Quick to Listen and slow to speak (James 1:19)
I'll be the thorn in your side as long as you need. (2 Cor. 12:7-10)

Wake the Dead

Chorus
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I
Tonight, did I make the most of this.

Tonight, did I
Tonight, or die
Tonight, or die.
These are the worst of times.

Oh, Sleeper
Won't you wake from your sleep?
Oh, Sleeper
Don't you know, with blood comes cleansing? (Hebrews 9:14)
