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?
N-n-n-necromancy
