Rise from the depths of the pit To the ground When there's no more room in hell The dead will walk the earth And it shall be, As with the people, So with the priests; As with the slave, So with his master; As with the maid, So with her mistress; As with the buyer, So with the seller Arise, shine; for our time has come, For behold, darkness shall cover the earth In that day the dead shall hear The words of a book And out of their gloom and darkness The eyes of the blind shall see.
