This is a song about Santa Muerte - The Lady of Bones. First, because we're from Tucson AZ and wanted to put a little local flavor in this record. Second, because supernatural and ancient skeletal queens of the underworld that are still worshiped by people on the fringes and underbelly of society are super cool.
lyrics
Pray for the dying - Forsaken and alone
Souls of the crying - Wings of the crow
Burning black votives - And the lady comes
Weary and sinless - To gather up her sons
Eyes no light can escape
Gown of white she awaits
Where she calls your name
Our goddess of the grave
Manos muertas - Carving the stones
Desde las sombras - Pulling you below
Mal de la noche - Lady of the bones
Santa Muerte - Ella contigo
De las Sombras...
She walks the roads of night
