When twilight falls over the wastelands

where the tombstones are overgrown

When fogbound clouds embraces the moon

and the stars are shining so bright



You shall dig in the name of the lord

Unchain the powers you've been longing for

Stain the earth with the holy blood

Until the ceremony's complete



[chorus:]

Outnumber the living

The dead shall rise and smell the incense

Unholy resurrection

The dead shall rise and smell the incense



Like weed from hell

the crypts emerges from the ground

The carrions trembles and opens their eyes

and crawls out from the tombs



Eat, devour the human race

Feed upon mortality

Behold and watch as they resurrect

Deliver this gift to mankind



[chorus:]

Outnumber the living

The dead shall rise and smell the incense

Unholy resurrection

The dead shall rise and smell the incense



[Guitar lead by Ulph Johansson]



The night vanishes slowly

but the mist of horror remains

Countless generations are now awake

to infect the earth with this plague



The soil is black and shall so be

for a thousand years to come

Life and death is united

it all is now the same



[chorus:]

Outnumber the living

The dead shall rise and smell the incense

Unholy resurrection

The dead shall rise and smell the incense

...smell the incense!

...the dead shall rise! Rise from their graves!



[Guitar lead by Andreas Johansson of bleeding]
