I, Zombie, Part Iv: the Turning

In a Zombie’s world There is no up, only down And the ground is hard In a Zombie’s world There’s no forward, only back An the doors are barred But a Zombie’s world All is not at all as it seems There are hopes and dreams One needs to be real To fight and slay the dragon Be able to feel But one gets quite down The battle tends to drag on Doppelganger sound Zombies come alive For there are humans inside When the Monster hides Get it on the run Climb upward and step forward Ever towards the sun A Zombie’s world is A cruel, erratic battle Joined on many fronts A clash eternal Tournament twixt beast and soul Joust for mind control The brain’s filled with bugs Doctor kills them off with drugs Smash the Monster’s hold Psychotherapy Talk the monster out of thee To behave as told The fiend is no fun The Daemon is not the one Nor is it the whole If it becomes one The Doppelganger has done And joined with the soul Told to leave at once The Monster is a bastard Magick words spoken Victory is won When the Monster is mastered Its back is broken Turning of the page No price higher than the wage No cost can be paid It's not the ending The monster's in there burning Me still befriending It’s in the yearning Understanding and learning Time for the turning…
