Yes. I think I just wrote a fan song for my own fiction. That’s okay. It makes me happy. Shout out to Saint Death’s Daughter, Saint Death’s Herald, and my current WIP–the last of the trilogy–Saint Death’s Doorway.
Necromancy Is
Hey hey hey hey
Don’t look at it that way
All that gray gray gray
All that death and decay
It’s not like you might think it is
(Okay, I mean, I guess it is)
But also it’s so beautiful
To raise an undead friend
Hey hey hey hey
Let me tell you ’bout my day
First I have to say say say
Hello to all the graves
I kiss the air about their tombs
I walk into their stony rooms
And tell them they’re so beautiful
Oh, all my undead friends
Hey hey hey hey
Why keep them all at bay?
That’s not my way way way
And I think we do okay
Necromancy’s not a sport
It’s kind of like a secret art
And damn, it’s really beautiful
To meet new undead friends
BRIDGE
I’ve raised a queen from just her toe
I’ve raised a wolf cub too
I’ve raised a tiger from a rug
And now I’m raising you
Your face is smiling, bones so green
I think we’ll get along
I’ll sing, you’ll play your moldy harp
We’ll dance the dance macabre
Hey hey hey hey
It’s the end of our fun day
Now I’m gonna lay lay lay
You in your resting place
Our time together, sweet and rare
Well nothing else quite can compare
We were so very beautiful
My darling undead friend
