A song that calls the dead

(A Song to Call the Dead)

*(Verse 1)*

The wind cries low through hollow trees,

A voice in shadows calls to me.

The moonlight shivers, pale and cold,

As echoes stir the bones of old.

*(Chorus)*

Rise, oh spirits, heed my song,

Through the veil, where you belong.

From the dust and from the deep,

Wake from death, no more to sleep.

*(Verse 2)*

Hands like frost, a ghostly touch,

Memories lost return too much.

I hear the whispers, soft and thin,

A thousand souls that drift within.

*(Pre-Chorus)*

Cold as silence, dark as time,

Cross the river, heed the chime.

Seven tolls, the bell will weep,

Come to me from where you sleep.

*(Chorus)*

Rise, oh spirits, heed my song,

Through the veil, where you belong.

From the dust and from the deep,

Wake from death, no more to sleep.

*(Bridge)*

Oh, the night is long and hollow,

Shadows dance where none may follow.

Footsteps echo, graves unlock,

Hear them answer—tick, tock, tock...

*(Verse 3)*

Bones remember, dust still yearns,

Candle wavers, fire burns.

Sing with me, the hymn of sorrow,

No more past and no tomorrow.

*(Final Chorus – Refrain)*

Rise, oh spirits, heed my song,

Through the veil, where you belong.

By my voice and by my breath,

Come, oh come, and walk from death.

*(Outro – Whispered)*

Step by step, the dead will come...

One by one... until they’re done...

This would be perfect for a gothic, folk, or metal song. Let me know if you want a different style or tone! 🎶💀

No more past and no tomorrow.

*(Final Chorus – Refrain)*

Rise, oh spirits, heed my song,

Through the veil, where you belong.

By my voice and by my breath,

Come, oh come, and walk from death.

*(Outro – Whispered)*
