the specter of death – v2



she had died, they had seen it
she was in the grave, in the tomb
calling to Peter, to come, to see her
to raise her from the dead
the specter of death hanging
the wailing of the widows
all who had loved her
gathered in grief
the specter of death hanging
like a great cloak, a sadness
Peter casting them out
to raise her from the dead
