lyrics

there's a knock at the door
where the blood and tears mix together and gather in shapes on the floor
took the name of Diablo
and the form of El Rey
with a curse on the soul of the wayfaring stranger that staggers away

in a dream resurrected
from the judgment on high
where they drape every tombstone in red neon lights when they've come here to die
they've come here to die

Oh, that spirit he summoned
she appeared in my bed
All wrapped in sheet fast asleep with a form that could rally the dead
crucifix on the mattress
rosary on the floor
something stirs in the shadows and enters the room just to walk out the door...

in a dream resurrected
from the judgment on high
where they drape every tombstone in red neon lights when they've come here to die
they've come here to die

we are shrouded in peril
we retreat from the light
we commune in the shadows
we belong to the night
every legend forgotten
rising up from the grave
we drape every tombstone in red neon lights in the hopes that we're saved
in the hopes that we're saved

this faded reflection
the old man that I see
did a hard life of sin lead me here Lord, I know that I'll never break free
was I cast out of heaven
am I am cursed to remain
bearing witness to what I've become Lord I burn in the depths my pain
in the depths of my pain

I'm a dream resurrected
from the judgment on high
and I'll drape every tombstone in red neon lights for I've come here to die
I've come here to die
