Color Morale, The - Wake The Dead Lyrics






This is our city of the dead
Another life holds its weary head
We hope, we try, we live, we lie
Counting days, trying to get by
Waiting for the calling
Anticipation in the air
We hope and dream of difference
City sleeping, unaware

Break the silence, wake the dead
Running through these streets alone
I'll kick and scream, let's break this hold
'Cause I swear, this won't render useless
I promised you, we've come this far
And I'm not stopping, I'm not stopping now

Enough hiding in shadows
Wake up, send out this message, it's clear

You said, you said, you said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
You said, you said, you said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead

Coming alive
Something stirs inside
This isn't over yet
Shake off the dirt
Swallow regret

Stop living under the weight
Living under the weight of regret

Your regrets
Don't lose hope
Your regrets
Don't lose hope
Don't let it happen to you
Don't lose hope
Which side are you gonna choose?

'Cause I believe
I believe it's in you
Rise!

We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
Wake up the dead

  1. M.... M....

    Nice try

  2. L.... ....

    Good to see they still stick with their old hardcore based style. Much love <3

  3. J.... E....

    😍😍😍😍😍

  4. X.... ....

    Whoa, Comeback Kid really inspired their screaming style post My Devil In Your Eyes. I had no idea.

  5. I.... R....

    TCM is so talented

  6. L.... R....

    what a great cover!

  7. i.... :....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  8. t.... g....

    the amount of people that don't know this is a cover makes me feel really old...

  9. a.... ....

    This song is by a Canadian Hardcore group, Come Back Kid. I saw them live recently in a venue with about 100 people. Its awesome to see a band like Color Morale covering them.

  10. K.... L....

    I think it has a nu metal sense

    K.... L....

    Its straight punk hard-core. Calling it Nu Metal is an insult.

    K.... L....

    I can see someone didnt play burnout on the PS2.

  11. S.... C....

    I love this song

  12. Y.... C....

    I'm sorry, but CBK's version is definitely better. Nice effort, tho'.

  13. A.... S....

    I love when he does this scream, this and the MS cover are an awesome throw back to their old sound

  14. v.... ....

    I love the idea of this EP, the covers are great!

  15. C.... G....

    <3333333333333

  16. B.... W....

    this is amazing! I also love the production!

  17. R.... ....

    Horrible

  18. T.... ....

    Vocals sound weirdly ridiculous.. Like he didn't try or care. Seems like the sound you'd make if you were trying to make fun of a song maybe Shocked someone would hear that back in a studio and be like, "Yeah, sounds good to me."

    T.... ....

    As Darkness Falls It's supposed to sound like he didn't try/care? Lol. Good to know The Color Morale sucks even more than I've always thought.

    T.... ....

    Th3ShakeMaster that's not what I meant haha I meant the way he's singing is supposed to be that way. He does care. It's their version of a comeback kid song which is different style to theirs. Haha

    T.... ....

    You need to listen to Comeback Kid to get what As Darkness Falls is trying to say. Because of that I also disagree. Also his screaming sounds EXACTLY like in the 3rd and 4th albums. I don't see the "not trying" part of this.

    T.... ....

    It’s honestly his voice. He’s 36 his voice has changed within 9 years. I think it even adds some teeth grinding hardcore feeling to it.

    T.... ....

    agreed! he shoulda just screamed it instead of using these joke vocals

  19. J.... B....

    I love the original and I love this. Winner winner chicken dinner.

  20. M.... P....

    Love this song and the cover does it justice

  21. S.... W....

    At least he is screaming again.

    S.... W....

    listen to their Misery Signals "The Failsafe" cover. old school garrett screaming

    S.... W....

    I don't think Garrett will ever go back to screaming like he used to like he was on the first two albums. He's had vocal lessons with Lisa from Shameless Singing and he hasn't screamed like that since.

  22. C.... ....

    FANTASTIC cover! They definitely did Comeback Kid justice.

  23. M.... W....

    The Color Morale is an American metalcore band from Rockford, Illionis. "Wake The Dead" GOOD SONG!!!😉😃😎😆🤔
