Rise from the grave
It eats at your brain 
It rots into your soul
There's no way to escape
It's enticing hold

Or so we thought
As common sense
Until one day
They found a way
To stop the decay

As they headed for the light
They turned back in flight
For what they saw
They did not like

Back to life just like that
Back into their bodies they splat

But there was a problem 
And it laid
Right next to the once dead
In their grave

Their brains had already started to slip
Back in their bodies their sense took a dip

They cudnt think straight 
As they rose from the grave
They gave a moan
As their bodies caved

All they could think
Was food and drink

But for some reason
They craved flesh and blood
Instead of the things
They used to love

They seemed crazy to everyone 
They could not speak in words 
Their communication was gone

The people fought against them
With weapons and force
The former dead were dubbed zombies
Their punishment was course

They were shot at and ridiculed
Down to the last zombie
They cudnt survive and went back to the dead

For now they are gone
Not to return
But oneday
They could come back from the urn
