I see the lights from beneath the ground
I was lost but now it’s found, the ghost wants something
To take their turn, to dance around the stone
Work the fingers to the bone, hold on to nothing

Day for the dead
To dance among the living
Day for the dead
To dance among the living

We find forgiveness, for the wrong we’ve done
Watch to die another day, another setting sun
We find redemption in the love that we’ve won
Just a little company until our work is done

Day for the dead
To dance among the living
Day for the dead
To dance among the living

Who says you can’t go back?
Who says you can’t go back? Back to where you started from
Who says you can’t go back?
Who says you can’t go back? Back to where you started from
(2x)

Who may cross the river Styx
The man who’ll meet you there
Caron’s may on your eyes just to pay his fare
(2x)

Day for the dead
To dance among the living

Day for the dead
To dance among the living
Day for the dead
To dance among the living
