rise from the dead
Come back living
To rise from the dead is to return to life after dying.
The phrase appears most often in religious contexts—Christianity holds that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.
Figuratively, it describes dramatic comebacks: The company rose from the dead after bankruptcy.
The less common rise from the grave carries the same meaning.
