Necromancy Lyrics

I dug up the past with these two worn hands

The ghosts of what we used to be still lingerin' in the land

Memories I thought were buried deep down in the ground

But they keep risin' up whenever you're around

I thought I'd laid it all to rest

But the hurt keeps callin' out never givin' me a rest

And here I am trying to set you free

In this graveyard of my heart practicing necromancy

It ain't about bringin' back the dead

But lettin' go of what you said

Raisin' up the pain so I can set it down

Lookin' for forgiveness where it can be found

In the shadow of that old oak tree

I'm layin' it to rest just you and me

This ain't no magic no dark mystery

It's just the heart's own kind of necromancy

We both made mistakes cut each other deep

But holdin' on to anger well it just won't let me sleep

I've been callin' out your name hopin' you'd come 'round

So we can heal this place that's now hallowed ground

I thought I'd laid it all to rest

But the past keeps pullin' me back puttin' me to the test

And here I stand with the memories

In this graveyard of regret tryin' necromancy

It ain't about bringin' back the dead

But lettin' go of what you said

Raisin' up the pain so I can set it down

Lookin' for forgiveness where it can be found

In the shadow of that old oak tree

I'm layin' it to rest just you and me

This ain't no magic no dark mystery

It's just the heart's own kind of necromancy

Sometimes you gotta raise it all to see

What's worth keepin' and what should be set free

Love ain't bound to the bones of the past

It's in the mercy that makes it last

It ain't about bringin' back the dead

But lettin' go of what you said

Raisin' up the pain so I can set it down

Lookin' for forgiveness where it can be found

In the shadow of that old oak tree

I'm layin' it to rest just you and me

This ain't no magic no dark mystery

It's just the heart's own kind of necromancy

Yeah we'll bury the hurt and let it be

Under the moonlight you and me

This ain't no spell no ancient fantasy

It's the miracle of love's own necromancy
