"Spirits of the Dead"

by R.A.G. Seely

I use occasions nocturnal
My surroundings, dreary, dismal
In an atmosphere foul, fetid
I summon spirits of the dead

I summon spirits of the dead
Whose earthly lives have long-ended
Revenants pulled up from repose
I call the dead; I draw them close

My own learnings are limited
I depend on those departed
From such brushings benefited
I summon spirits of the dead

I summon spirits of the dead
I'm signalling to shapes shrouded
The supplications I perform
Will call forth phantoms scant of form

In these affairs, I do not fret
I'm assured by an amulet
I'm free of fear, devoid of dread
I summon spirits of the dead

I summon spirits of the dead
In solemnities instructed
I brew bewild'ring libations
I create fires, conflagrations

In septic soil, I've placed a pit
Such rites required to raise spirits
Visitations hover ahead
I summon spirits of the dead

I summon spirits of the dead
By ghostly entities guided
I speak to presences spectral
I merge with forces phantasmal
