No, in an exception based system like D&D, specific trumps general. There is a general rule in the DMG that states that you can’t bring someone back to life against their will; and since Revivify doesn’t specifically state that it is an exception to this rule, it isn’t.

So basically the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3. We’ve got an archmage, a local hero, and a barbarian that has spent the last decade fighting in the Blood War, and all of them join at level 1. Though at least Gale and Karlach have decent excuses for the power drop.
The problem here is that deities are bound by the plot, not the rules. If your DM tells you “no spell or weapon of mortal make could ever pierce the Queen of Dragons’ hide”, that means there is nothing you can do to hurt her. End of conversation. But, if your DM tells you “only a blade forged by the divine smith Watsisnaim could slay such a mighty foe”, it’s time for a fetch quest.
I’ve best heard it described as “a rogue and a bard who can only seem to roll Nat 20s and Nat 1s”.
