Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Guitar by Kevin Wong
Mixing/Mastering by Kevin Wong
Halloween song! Zombies and exes!
THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that! It's been over 30 weeks now, I don't think I can stop for a while...
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS
Verse 1:
Looking back I wonder why I even tried
What we had was guaranteed to die
It's better off 6 feet below, just let it go
Not the most horrifying story or frightening fright
Compares to you calling me up late at night
Cry on the line and you try
Chorus 1:
To raise our love from the dead
Can't raise our love from the dead
Even though it's laid to bed
You try to raise our love from the dead
Did you think that you still had a shot
Let the love we had decay and rot
Like you once said
Can't raise our love from the dead
Verse 2:
I know you're desperate to steal the corpse and reanimate
I'm sorry baby I can't relate
If I recall, you dug the grave
That's your mistake
This abomination was never meant to be revived
But still you bring it to your castle up high
Flip the switch and scream "It's alive!"
(Why do you try)
Chorus 2:
To raise our love from the dead
Can't raise our love from the dead
Even though it's laid to bed
You try to raise our love from the dead
Rotting monsters want to bash in my head
And I would so much rather spend the night with them instead
Than raise our love from the dead
(You can't bring it back)
Verse 3:
The creature that you brought from hell
Is just a rancid broken shell
Of a love that once had a soul, not anymore
You can't go back to before
Chorus 3:
And raise our love from the dead
Can't raise our love from the dead
Even though it's laid to bed
You try to raise our love from the dead
You're a zombie that's wanting me back
But I'm not a necrophiliac
The flag is crimson red
To raise our love from the dead
Can't raise our love from the dead
(You can't bring it back)
