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
