The Dead Rejoice Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was dead and buried
In 1995
The world didn't mourn my passing
Not sure it knew I'd been alive
As it turned out
The hand of God from the rafters
In the saddest last act of a play
The end was just the beginning
Shook off the dust of that grave
As it turns out

[Chorus]
I raised my voice
That those with ears could hear
The dead rejoice
For what is left to fear

[Verse 2]
In the clothes in which i was buried
I discovered to my surprise
Part of me took it's first step
And part of me stayed behind
As it turned out
The stumbling fool had to die there
Not to be heard from again
When joy embraces the ending
The revelry truly begins
As it turns out

[Chorus]
Raise your voice
That those with ears may hear
The dead rejoice
For what is left

[Bridge]
(San Joaquin valley) (Newman avenue)
Many broken pieces
(Angel of haston place)
Somehow come together
(6th and PCH)
In a tiny room upstairs
(Ah, kyler)
Pacific ocean air
(They're singing my song)

[Chorus]
Raise your voice
That those with ears may hear
The dead rejoice
For what is left to fear

Raise your voice
That those with ears may hear
The dead rejoice
For what is left to fear

[Outro]
(Somewhere in Dallas, Texas)
(Rainbow circle moonsong)
So many different faces
(Bushnell, Illinois)
Somehow made familiar
(Skamania and St. Eriksplan)
Every peak and valley
(Merrill, Wisconsin)
I wouldn't change a thing
(Orlampa and Puget Sound)
I couldn't change a thing
(They're singing our song)
Why would I change a thing
(They're singing our song)
(They're singing our song)
