Dry, Old Bones
We are 
 the dry, old bones.
 Asleep in graves,
 with the musty smell going in us,
 as we breathe in
 with our tired breaths.
 
 This earthy smell,
 all round us,
 as we lay inside 
 these earthly tombs;
 
 almost believing 
 that we are dead.
 When we really are 
 under a spell,
 from the Prince of this World;
 we are asleep.
 
 Something 
 in our slumbering hearts
 stirs;
 we must awake.
 For this. . . 
 
 We can't take this any longer;
 Someone is waking us, the dead
 from our slumber.
 Light is coming through
 this dark world.
 
 We must awake
 for we are suffocating 
 from breathing this dusty air;
 what light has
 is fresh air.
