  • 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 hamstring
    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 digging up my grave
    An undead one like the flag that I wave
    I'm not afraid to cry from this cocaine sickness
    I'm not afraid to die, let the good book witness
    I ask and give 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
    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

    This is exactly what has to be done, it happened so gradually
    It's like I magically happened to be the phantom that cannot be
    Lets this dagger cut jaggedly
    While you're gasping so rapidly
    While you gag on this rag
    I see you all laughing so happily
    It's okay 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 saving your heart
    This is the Day of the Dead, this is 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 fun has begun, yeah, it's hard to swallow
    And 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
    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 a thousand candles burn into the night
    When the angels softly cry on the flames below the sky
    Would a thousand 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)
    (Here's to the damned) it's the Day of the Dead
    (Hold on, Holy Ghost)
    (Here's to the damned) it's the Day of the Dead Writer/s: Daniel Murillo, Dylan Peter Alvarez, George Arthur Ragan, Jordon Kristopher Terrell, Jorel Decker, Matthew Busek, Sean Gould
