Lyrics

Wake of a Nation

We brought you up
We'll bring you down
We're riling up
We're riling up
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation

The king is dead

(Dies irae) dies irae
(Dies irae) dies irae (dies irae)
Dies irae (dies irae) dies irae
Dies irae, dies irae
(Shush)

Beyond the shadow of a doubt again
The king is dead
Better look alive than disappear, my friend
Dies irae

Now you're just one of a billion
The king is dead
Not worth the hassle but you can still pretend
Dies irae

Gib uns die Gabe
Gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die Gabe sofort

The king is dead

And it seems we ain't playing anymore
Pick it out, file your complaint at the door
Don't you think we grow tame over time?
The king is dead
Don't you get
Dies irae

This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation
Dies irae
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep

Gib uns die Gabe
Gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die Gabe sofort
Gib uns die Gabe
Gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die Gabe sofort

The king is dead
