This is exactly what has to be done, it happens so gradually It’s like I magically happened to be the phantom they cannot be {?} Lets his dagger cut jaggedly While you gaspin’ so rapidly While you brag on this rag I see you were 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 is ain’t no day in the park Here I come, here I come, down your guns and crossbows And run, better run from the skull and crossbones The fun 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
CHORUS: 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 So long to the ones you know 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 Will 1000 souls still pray for you and I?
CHORUS: 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 Go on, hold me close Better run, here we come It’s the day of the dead
Hold on, Holy Ghost So long to the ones you know 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
