The dead are at peace now
Are at peace now, are at peace.
Reprieved and released now,
All released now and at peace.
With no need to rattle at your window
Or scrabble at your door
As you’ve heard them do before
And no need to whisper when the wind blows
Or with a finger score
Words across the dusty floor
The dead are at peace now
Though at first, they would not budge.
They wanted to stay and watch you
To watch over you, watch and judge.
For under the new life you have built
Memory lies soft as silt
Full of grubbiness and guilt
Where all your misdeeds lie fossilising
From them, there’s no disguising,
No scales upon their eyes.
The dead are at peace now.
Like I said, my fee is flat.
Reprieved and released now,
Trust me, I’ve seen, seen to that
I’ve seen to that.
