Raising The Dead

‘Andy Dougan, Raising the dead’

And death is not final there are ways

 To come back after dying

So close to wake them, so close to them

Rising to life after life

 For the last of the secrets and the last of the pieces

 One more must die

Raising the dead from their grave back to life

Raising the dead cheat death to survive

Pale and cold, no blood flow

No breath lifts the chest

And no movement as death holds on

Then breathing, the heart starts to beat

It stares up in silence then stares up to me

The dead man can see

Raising the dead from their grave back to life

Raising the dead, cheat death to survive
