Day of the Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold on, holy ghost
Go on, hold me close
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
We come from a world of oblivion, bad dreams
I got all I need strapped right to my head stream
I'm not really bad, I'm just made up of bad things
I'm really not a mad man, the voices keep asking
Born with a soul that don’t wanna be saved
Every time I look around I see what a fiend made
Every time I die, I hope they diggin’ up my grave
An undead one, like the flag that I wave
I'm not afraid to cross on this cocaine sickness
I'm not afraid to die, let the good book witness
I ask and get none, nope, no forgiveness
The day of the dead and you’re on our hit list
So come all you misfits!
Bitch you're on our hit list!
Hold on, holy ghost (hold on)
Go on, hold me close (go on)
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost (hold on)
So long to the ones you know (so long)
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
This is exactly what has to be done
It happened so gradually
It’s like I magically happened
To be this phantom that cannot be
Lets his dagger cut jaggedly
While you're gaspin’ so rapidly
While you gag on this rag
I see you all laughin' so happily
It’s ok to get startled and be afraid of the dark
I’ll just wait here to swallow your soul and tear you apart
And I've already started, there ain’t no savin’ your heart
This is the day of the dead, this ain't no day in the park
Here I come, here I come, grab your guns and crossbows
And run, better run from the skull and crossbones
The song has begun, yeah, it’s hard to swallow
When I'm done, I ain’t done, ’cause it’s hell that follows
Now get ready for sorrow
‘Cause it’s hell that follows
Hold on, holy ghost (hold on)
Go on, hold me close (go on)
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost (hold on)
So long to the ones you know (so long)
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
When the ashes start to rise
And the Moon falls from the sky
And 1000 candles burn into the night
When the angels softly cry
On the plains below the sky
Would 1000 souls still pray for you and I?
Hold on (holy ghost)
Go on (hold me close)
Better run, here we come
It's the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost (hold on)
Go on, hold me close (go on)
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost (hold on)
So long to the ones you know (so long)
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost
It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, holy ghost
It’s the day of the dead
