Bring out your dead!
He looks to the sky
For the rest of his friends, the cart has arrived
Bring out your dead!
The sky burns bright
Don't look at your friends burning on the pyre
"There's one last thing I'll ask of you!"
He pleading screamed
"Oh, please don't give me that wretched disease!"
Buried to ascend!
Their souls would arise
But not tonight
There is no saving light
Buried to ascend!
The pastor arrives
Little solemn words are spoken this night
But even the average man
Of simple mind can see
That the dead are really the freed
"Oh no, please don't give me that disease.
Oh no, save me, oh my god."
The man went to the river to pray
To ask his god why he was treated this way
His god replied not once
Betrayed, the man grew angry and gave up his faith
"There's one last thing I'll ask of you!"
He pleading screamed
"Oh, please give me that wretched disease!"
Because even the average man
Of simple mind can see
That the dead are really the freed.
