Misfits - Dead Kings Rise Demo

Album: Cuts From The Crypt (2001)
Lyrics:
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Bound by battle scars
When the savages reigned
The lord of war
From his right hand man betrayed
Beneath the battle field
His murdered corpse they hide
Oh, curse from Hell
Avenge my death
Avenge the lies
(Oh) Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
(Oh) Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
(Oh) Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
(Oh) Dead kings rise for
Vengeance owed
Bound by battle scars
When the savages reigned
The lord of war
From his right hand man betrayed
Beneath the battle field
His murdered corpse they hide
Oh, curse from Hell
Avenge my death
Avenge the lies
(Oh) Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
(Oh) Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
(Oh) Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
(Oh) Dead kings rise for
Vengeance owed
Woah-oh
(Oh) Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
(Oh) Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
(Oh) Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
(Oh) Dead kings rise for
Vengeance owed
Oh-oh-oh-oh, hey, hey
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I'll always be a Danzig fan but Graves is pretty great in his own right.

in this song jerry only is on the vocals

He’s such a cool down to earth guy too! Met him at a show and he signed all my CDs

[@stormbornbjornsson6576]

They mastered the FUCK out of the album version. This song in particular sounds weak as fuck. Shame, because this is probably the best Misfits song ever.

True

It is a killer track but Dr phibes takes it for me. I like danzig, but ima graves guy fosho. Started listening in prolly 95-96

We have these Danzig reunions which is fine and all despite the prices, but I think I’d prefer a Graves reunion in a small spot over Danzig in a stadium. With my fave misfit Doyle of course!

[@danielbaldwin3980]

I’m a die hard Danzig-era Misfits fan. I don’t care for the Graves era or anything after it…but damn this is the one song that I actually like. It’s the only post Danzig Misfits song that has found its way into my listening rotation. The demo version is far superior to the album version. I actually dig Graves vocals on this track too (no pun intended). The song rocks and it’s catchy - just like old Misfits songs but in a different way.

[@philliprobinson129]

Graves was awesome

[@lou3778]

Yeah but Jerry Only sings this one.

[@kerricarruthers9945]

@@lou3778 I don’t know why on earth you’d think this is Jerry. Look up the sessions. This is the Mars attacks demos from May 1996

Antifa profile picture 🤢

[@svn-zq5rv]

its a anti nazi pfp got nothing to do with antifa

[@introgrunt4046]

@@svn-zq5rv it has everything to do with antifa, antifa was formed during the nazi occupation of Italy. Antifa was the local resistance organization against the nazis. The same ideologies of nazis exist today and are the reason anti-fascist movements have sprung up again. But I’m not gonna expect your average graves era misfits fan to care about that because he’s an actual fascist himself, and that’s the reason the original members want nothing to do with him.

[@introgrunt4046]

When you openly admit being a fascist lol. It’s the most anti-American thing you can do.

[@svn-zq5rv]

@@introgrunt4046 no thanks for telling me that I genuinely didn't know about that thank you

[@punxbasco2675]

O importante é nem fascist e nem nazista. Não a esse e não ao outro.
