There's a book over there that tells you how to contact the dead.
But they've never got anything interesting to say.
Usually they're just like
"Hey. It's sweet not having to poop."
It's whatever you want it to be, good sir Trout.
And I haven't heard of Ballad.
Also, I'm not trying to be all that pretentious? But make of it what you will, I suppose.
