Day of the Dead

Album: A: Enlightenment B: Endarkenment (Hint: There Is No C)

Day of the Dead

 

 

Sugar, skulls and marigolds

Flowers, thorns and blood

Say a prayer for each of us

Beneath the dust and mud

 

Everyday is the day of the dead

Everyday is the day of the dead

 

Thirsty ghosts and twisted bones

Petitions, shrines and feasts

Say a prayer for each of us

Whose souls have been released?

 

Everyday is the day of the dead

Everyday is the day of the dead

 

Banned saints and sweet dry bread

Candles, masks and bells

Say a prayer for each of us

Was put in heaven or in hell
