[Setting: the start of Season 6. Willow, Tara, Xander and Anya are walking through the cemetery toward Buffy's grave. It is about midnight, and it is raining. Anya carries the obligatory newspaper over her head, while the others carry a variety of magic supplies. They reach the grave and kneel in a circle around it. Willow begins the spell. ]
Willow
In the velvet darkness,
In the blackest mist,
O Osiris,
Listen to my spell.
Return our friend to us from hell.
[They join hands]
Willow:
Come to Life...
Tara, Xander, and Anya (in a glorious, angelic harmony):
Return to us and rewrite your fate.
Willow:
Come to Life...
Tara, Xander, and Anya:
We pray that we are not too late.
Willow:
Come to Life, ... life ...
[Willow becomes possessed, a demon crawling under her skin. The others look in horror.]
Tara, Xander, and Anya:
For the pain and loss cuts through our hearts like a knife.
[Cut to the living room of the Summers house, where Dawn has fallen asleep on Spike's shoulder.]
Spike (whispered):
Each night she appears, then I realize I am dreaming.
If she won't return, let the sun and light come streaming.
Come back to life. Come back to life...
[Cut back to the cemetery, where Willow is struggling with the demon inside her.]
Willow:
Come to Life...
All:
We'll remove you from the depths of Hell.
Willow:
Come to Life...
All:
We do not know where your soul fell.
Willow:
Come to Life, ... li-
[Willow begins to collapse under the pain.]
Tara, Xander, and Anya:
For the pain and loss cuts through our hearts like a knife.
[The final words of the song are drowned out by a gang of motorcycles. The spell is broken, and the Scoobies scatter into the woods.]
