Light up the candles and open the gate
The bell is ringing
For the souls with no fate
Our little Angels, all lost in this world

Death is transcending
They will resurrect
Not from their grave
But they've come to collect
In Danza Macabra
The dance of the dead

We honour the souls
We praise the departed
Now la Calavera Catrina is glowing
The eyes of the skull
Bursting into a blaze

All of the damned
Día de los muertos
All of the damned
Los angelitos, los innocentes
So listen, beware
Remember what they said
That life is best enjoyed after death
There is a place where the evil can rest
Let's draw a circle and take out their nest
Into the fire, we've all been misled
Battle is raging, prepare to attack
Made out of fire, they clobber my back
The living and dead in a final ballet

Let's summon the dead
We all stand together
But we thought the spirits
Would rest on this day
How could we be so blind?
Stop the dance, start the slay

All of the damned
Día de los muertos
All of the damned
Los angelitos, los innocentes
So listen, beware
Remember what they said
That life is best enjoyed after death
