Come forth!
From that square lifeless wood
I conjure you.
From the breast of your captor cease.
Dare nature’s will and power
To hold you still
Fight from within you
And break those shackles
Of audacious and cruelty.
Loose yourself from the bond
Of death’s hostility
Can you hear me?
He that was pronounced dead
Living on our minds like a dream
Stop our grief and shame
The veils of darkness.
Come forth!
From that grave.
The earth’s empty by your leaving.
Rage! Howl!! And Awake!!!
Empty the grave at this command
Break the doors! Loose the grips!
Come forth!
If there are ears in the dark,
Then out, out, Howl, come forth as we wait.

He stood beside his daughter’s frozen grave Cold, Unfeeling, Money Machine and While he wondered how much time he’s wasted A snowflake leaps Upon his cheek – The closest to a tear he ever gave her Although not quite - As it melted
