Life Returns

Uncle John isn't in bed
He seems to have been moved
Aunt Mary nailed the basement shut
Keeping him from view
And Uncle John is on the floor
With a hammer through his lung
My aunt is sleeping peacefully
But the night has just begun

Life returns!
Life returns!
Life returns!
Life returns!

Superstition intervenes
His hands begin to move
Removes the weapon from his flesh
His savage gaping wound
All that I remember hearing
Is the sound of breaking brones
Dragging himself up the stairs
And gnawing through the door

Life returns!
Life returns!
Life returns!
Life returns!

Aunt Mary's on the stairs
Thick mats of blood and hair
"But Uncle John you're dead"
That's what aunt Mary said

Uncle John isn't in bed
He seems to have been moved
Aunt Mary nailed the basement shut
Keeping him from view
And Uncle John is on the floor
With a hammer through his lung
My aunt is sleeping peacefully
But the night has just begun

Life returns!
Life returns!
Life returns!
Life returns!
