Hollywood Undead – Day of the Dead Lyrics

Hold on, Holy Ghost
Go on, hold me close
Better run,¹ here we come
It’s the day of the dead²

We come from a world of oblivion,³ bad dreams⁴
I got all I need strapped right to my hamstring⁵
I’m not really bad, I’m just made up of bad things
I’m really not a mad man, the voices keep asking⁶
Born with a soul that don’t wanna be saved⁷
Every time I look around I see what a fiend made
Every time I die, I hope they digging up my grave⁸
An undead one like the flag that I wave
I’m not afraid to cry from this cocaine sickness⁹
I’m not afraid to die, let the good book¹⁰ witness
I ask and give none, nope, no forgiveness
The day of the dead and you’re on our hit list¹¹
So come all you misfits
Bitch, you’re on our hit list¹²

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 know¹³
Better run, here we come
It’s the day of the dead

This is exactly what has to be done,¹⁴ it happened so gradually
It’s like I magically happened to be the phantom that cannot be
Let this dagger cut jaggedly
While you’re gasping so rapidly¹⁵
While you gag on this rag
I see you all laughing so happily¹⁶
It’s okay to get startled and be afraid of the dark
I’ll just wait here to swallow your soul and tear you apart¹⁷
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 park¹⁸
Here I come, here I come, grab your guns and crossbows¹⁹
And run, better run from the skull and crossbones
The fun²⁰ has begun, yeah, it’s hard to swallow
When I’m done, I ain’t done, cause it’s hell²¹ 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 ashes²² 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 sky²³
Would a thousand souls still pray for you and I?²⁴

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 dead²⁵
