El Dia de los Muertos
Do you remember when you asked me
"What's the difference between a sinner and a saint"?
And I said "they're both the same fucking thing"?
Well, a hundred suns have set since that day
And we're as far as ever from our fate
So will you please just let me in
I've been knocking for ages
Don't shoot me I'm only the messenger
Don't shoot me I'm only the messenger
Into the tempest two lovers go
Will they ever come out? Nobody knows...
But tomorrow, we shall stroke onwards
Towards the horizon
Towards a future where the buildings aren't crumbling
And we aren't hanging from nooses
Like the mothers of all these bastard children
Who are dreaming for another way
To not have to forget about yesterday
Don't shoot me I'm only the messenger
I'm only a prophet, I'm only a convict
Bringing a plague upon your homes
That will gnash at your flesh
And rip the skin from your bones
The final hour is at hand
In this godforsaken, barren wasteland
And as we reach towards the heavens
I'll be thinking of you
How you weren't there for me
And I won't be there for you
No one visits this place anymore
It's a burial ground
A plague-ridden deathbed
But soon we'll all be dead
Beneath these blood red sheets
Our lungs full of regret and despair
Aching for one last chance
To let these words
Escape these weary lips
So for one last time
Hold my hand
And we'll fall into this together
A cool breeze trembles through the night air
Bringing with it the joy and sorrow of a once great nation
The smell of cigarettes fills the summer air
While you talk of the dead days and long nights
We spent beneath such beautiful stars so long ago
Why it had to end will always haunt our souls
Like that last kiss
And all of the shit we swept away before and after
Now let the blood flow
And the glorious carnage rape our souls
Of what little heart we have left
And what hideous despair we fear to unleash
Will you walk with me into the current?
Or will you hold me under until the tide drags me away?
And I float belly up to the heavens
Where I can finally be free
return
