The day was mist and cloud banks,
You came to me and cried,
You told me you were sorry and-
You never should have died.
Thunder cracked with lightning,
There was nothing I could do,
Once dead the dead stay buried, and-
Their mortal life is through.
Parted lips and shallow tears,
You gave a perfect show,
Reasoning with how unfair, and-
Making me feel low.
I cannot just re-animate,
Your body and your soul,
Once a person's fully gone,
They'll never come back whole.
No reasoning will change my mind,
I'm sure you'll understand,
I will not acquiesce to you,
Cannot perform demand.
So finish what you started, Corpse,
And get your business done,
Say your last farewells because-
You'll fade come morning sun.
