“Day of the Dead”

Nov 2, in many cultures, is a day of honoring the dead...”Dia de los muertos” in Mexico. This track tries to capture the spirit of the tradition, with a song style that attempts to be a bit spooky and mysterious, yet reverent. Appreciate comments, as usual..thanks, forum friends.

This the tradition we keep--
Comforting friends who sleep.
Waiting for scales to be shed;
Aid on the path to the sun ahead;
On this day for our honored dead.

This is the DAY OF THE DEAD;
Asleep in their faithful bed;
Cannot proceed on their own;
Must have our help for the road ahead.

This is the work we must do;
They need to hear from you;
Offer an earnest request;
Meant for our brothers who rest;
Give them the gift of the words
That are said
On the DAY OF THE DEAD!

This is the DAY OF THE DEAD
'Cross the divide we're wed;
Here from our house on the ground,
Lift up your pleas be upward bound.

This work will never be through;
They'll need a prayer from you;
Offer your earnest requests;
In this you'll surely be blessed;
Give them the gift of the words
That are said
On the DAY OF THE DEAD!
The DAY OF THE DEAD!
Of the Dead!
