Zombie Prince
A hand reaches out of an open grave
The tombstone behind has your name engraved
Your body has returned to bless us with your grace
But I can’t tear my eyes from your crumbling face
Your eyes are motley sockets, tinged with clots of blood
The scabs fall off your body, splashing in the mud
You crawl out of your coffin, one thought in your head
You’re going after her, though it’s me you want, instead
Your looking for the person who put you in the ground
The sweet revenge so long denied has finally come around
You think that she’s the one who broke your bleeding heart
But here I am, yes, I’m the one who watched you fall apart
I should have told somebody, I should have looked for help
But you would never even look my way, you left me by myself
I only wanted all your love, but, for me, you were blind
You always ran to her as though your lives were intertwined
You never stopped to pause or think about my love for you
I wonder if you ever noticed? Well, I’ll make sure you do!
You’re running after her, but you’re running out of time
Only a few lines more before I will make you mine
In my story I can make you do anything I like
Make a story where you love me, and I become your wife
I’ve brought you back here from the grave so you can marry me
Once you’ve killed that other girl, oh, how happy we will be!
You might think that she’s the one who once broke up with you
But I’m the one who spread the rumour that you were untrue
Of course you’ll leave her soon enough, you can’t escape me now
You’re my perfect zombie prince, and you’ll do what I allow
Within the confines of my words, I’ll cast a spell on you
Though this isn’t the first time I’ve tried a spell like this, I must admit that’s true
Every year on Halloween night I visit all the graves
Of the people who I once loved, but I couldn’t save
Though they might have been repelled by me so many years ago
It takes one spell to change their thoughts, this I’ve always known
Yes, I tried to make you love me, love, while you were still alive
But then that other girl broke you, and then, my love, you died
I tried so hard to move on, but I couldn’t without you
The skies, the lies, even my eyes turned everything dark blue
But now I have a second chance, now that you have been revived
Against all odds my love for your has magically survived
And now I’ll write my love for you to turn your thoughts around
(Though all my loves these days turn into zombies underground)
Don’t think about that other girl, just focus right on me
And we will be together, love, just like we will always be
