Verse:
C#m
We come from a world of oblivion, bad dreams
A
I got all I need strapped right to my hamstring
B
I’m not really bad, I’m just made up of bad things
C#m
I’m really not a madman, the voices keep asking
C#m
Born with this soul that don’t wanna be saved
A
Every time I look around, I see what a fiend made
B
Every time I die, I hope they’re digging up my grave
C#m
An Undead one like the flag that I wave
C#m
I’m not afraid to cry from this cocaine sickness
A
I’m not afraid to die, let the Good Book witness
B
I ask and give none, nope, no forgiveness
C#m
It’s Day of the Dead and you’re on our hit list
D D
So come, all you misfits; bitch, you’re on our hit list
Chorus:
C#m
Hold on, Holy Ghost
A
Go on, hold me close
B
Better run, here we come

Verse:
C#m
This is exactly what has to be done, it happened so gradually
A
It’s like I magically happened to be this phantom that candidly
B
Lets this dagger cut jaggedly while you’re gasping so rapidly
C#m
While you gag on this rag, I feed you while laughing so happily
C#m
It’s okay to get startled and be afraid of the dark
A
I’ll just wait here to swallow your soul and tear you apart
B
And I’ve already started, there ain’t no saving your heart
C#m
This is the Day of the Dead, this ain’t no day in the park
C#m
Here I come, here I come, grab your guns and crossbows
A
And run, better run from the skull and crossbones
B
The fun has begun, yeah, it’s hard to swallow
C#m
And when I’m done, I ain’t done ’cause it’s hell that follows
D D
Now get ready for sorrow ’cause it’s hell that follows
Chorus:
C#m
Hold on, Holy Ghost
A
Go on, hold me close

Bridge:
A
When the ashes start to rise
E
And the moon falls from the sky
F#m G#m
And a thousand candles burn into the night
A
When the angels softly cry
E
On the flames below the sky
F#m G#m
Would a thousand souls still pray for you and I?
