Hmm, well, the knife is sharp even though that's not explicitly called out in the verse :)

Sharp
This Liber Maleficum has pictures I like
I want to return to simpler old times.
I’m raising the dead with my books and my knife,
I’ll make them my friends and finish my crimes.

Greg - trust me, at this point I don't ever expect the prompt to be explicitly called out in the verse. Just do what you can with it!

... I'm not convinced the dead will be willing to be friends with your hero(?), but hey, optimism never... well, maybe in this case... anyway! Onward!
