Necromancy

After the day I die, you're standing at my wake

My skin is pale, and you've got black mascara down your face

But don't you say goodbye, take that rose off my grave

Just 'cause I'm 6 feet under, don't mean I have gone away

You miss my face, my beating heart

The list goes on and on

But don't be sad 'cause I'm not gone

Yeah, I'm just lost

And here I lie, under the dirt

You say goodbye, don't say that word

And there I lie, beneath the earth

But not for long, I will return

I will return

I will return

I will return

Now it's after dark, you wipe your tears away

Empty your flask and light a candle in my memory

But then you have a thought, what if I'm not gone

What if I'm in the between, waiting just for you to call

So you blow out the candle, you feel your hands start to tremble

You close your eyes and you see me. This can't be real, are you dreaming?

But as you reach out to touch me, how do you know you can trust me?

But you believe that it must be, that's how I know that you love me

Call to me in the nighttime. I hear your voice, can you hear mine?

I'll answer you at the right time and send you all of the right signs

But once you think everthing's fine, you've got your wish, what about mine?

It's always hard to say goodbye. I'll haunt the rest of your lifetime

N-n-n-necromany, N-n-n-necromancy

You gave me life, now I want yours

Be more careful what you wish for

N-n-n-necromancy, N-n-n-necromancy

I'm screaming out, do you hear me?

Now do you love me or fear me?

N-n-n-necromancy

I have returned

I have returned

I have returned

But when you conjure me, I feel a pulse inside me

You brought me back, now I can breathe

You save me from purgatory

You bring me back but now I need

A sudden thirst for energy

This life-consuming entity

You call with necromancy -

I miss your face, your beating heart

The list goes on and on

But I'm not sad 'cause you're not gone

Yeah, you're just barely hanging on -

N-n-n-necromany, N-n-n-necromancy

You gave me life, now I want yours

Be more careful what you wish for

N-n-n-necromancy, N-n-n-necromancy

I'm screaming out, do you hear me?

Now do you love me or fear me?
