The dead don't have to stay dead

We can call them back from hell

Beckoning them with our words

Bodies preserved until return

The dead can return to us

If we don't bury the body

Speak each day of what they loved

Remind them why they need to return

The dead don't have to stay dead

Bodies soaked in special herbs

A way to stop decomposition

Though the heart no longer beats

The dead can return to us

Take proper care of the body

Cut the hair and trim the nails

Keeping close the things they loved

The dead don't have to stay dead

If only we have enough time

If no fools dare to interfere

The dead can live again
