The Necromancer Blues
Rebirth from Betrayal: The Necromancer's Anthem
Lyrics
You roll that corpse over
You turn the dead body over
You move that body, sister
You physically reposition the corpse, addressing someone as "sister"
Heave it high on your shoulder
Lift the body onto your shoulder
A little more and then it's over
Complete the task, suggesting finality
You roll that corpse over
Repeat of line 1
You move that body, sister
Repeat of line 2
Come alive, come alive
Call for the dead to come to life
Come alive
Reiteration of the call for life
What did they pay ya
Inquire about compensation for a certain action
What did they give ya
Ask what was received in return
For the skin they took
Reference to the taking of skin
For the bones they broke
Reference to the breaking of bones
You roll that corpse over
Repeat of line 1
You move that body, sister
Repeat of line 2
Come alive, come alive
Renew the call for the dead to come to life
Come alive
Reiteration of the call for life
Make no mistake
Emphasize that sympathy was insincere
Their sympathy was fake
Highlight the falseness of their compassion
And as you lay in that lake
As you lie in a lake, noting the absence of heartache
Not a heart thought to ache
No one is bothered by your suffering
So, you roll that corpse over
Repeat of line 1
You move that body, sister
Repeat of line 2
Come alive, come alive
Renew the call for the dead to come to life
Come alive
Reiteration of the call for life
Take their bones, they don't deserve it
Advise taking their bones as they don't deserve them
Take their skin, they don't need it
Suggest taking their skin as they don't need it
Stitch a life from what they've done
Propose creating a new life from their actions
And go and find the sun
Encourage finding positivity despite past deeds
Don't go into the woods, baby
Caution against entering the woods due to knowledge of your actions
They know what you have done
Highlight awareness of what you have done
Don't go into the woods, baby
Repeat of caution against entering the woods
They know what you have done
Reiteration of awareness of your actions
You roll that corpse over
Repeat of line 1
You move that body, sister
Repeat of line 2
Come alive, come alive
Renew the call for the dead to come to life
Come alive
Reiteration of the call for life
You roll that corpse over
Repeat of line 1
You move that body, sister
Repeat of line 2
Come alive, come alive
Renew the call for the dead to come to life
Come alive
Reiteration of the call for life
