Wake of a Nation Lyrics
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...
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 gäbe 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

What did Zeal & Ardor say about "Wake of a Nation"?
This is a very stripped-down song because we wanted to—as well as we could—go back to our roots, which is field hollers. But basically it imagines if Black people from back in the slavery days were to witness what’s happening now. Maybe this would be the kind of hopeful chant they would be hollering...
