Wild Times In The Cemetery

Resurrectionists return in all their glory

Ghostly spectacles chasing down their dreams

Planners planning one more party

Family reunions under midnight beams

All the dead and mangled forms

Returning for one night

Discussing the state of their deaths

Everyone has a complaint

About a lifetime that’s gone by

Still claiming that it’s all a ruse

Wild times in the cemetery

All who enter will be confused

It's not the quiet place one supposes

The inhabitants will be elated at the news

Orators on the merits of rising once again

Hucksters still trying to sell their souls

Spectres and spectacles recreating deadly scenes

Nervous phantoms meeting to discuss the state of being dead.

Party crashers lates as always

Reluctant shadows checking out the score

Ghostly games played with skin and bones

Death deniers at their game

Boundaries of death have remained

When the sun shines they rest in quiet repose

Wild times in the cemetery tonight

All who enter will be confused

It's not the quiet place one supposes

The inhabitants will be elated at the news
