Sugar Skull Serenade

Under lantern skies we gather close

If cracked old jokes and a table of ghosts

Toast the moon and the fading light

And dance with the shadows into the night

Laugh while the candles burn

Sing till the eagles turn

Is a spark and a song

But the stories carry on

Your grandmother's recipes

My father's tune

The street keeps time with the silver moon

Every scar on the heart

Learns how to shine

When the filth of memory pulls the line

Light while the candles burn

Sing till the egos turn

Life is a spark then a song

But the stories carry on

If I leave before the morning comes

Bury me in the sound of drums

Tell them I love this glorious ride

And I kept a little fire inside

Black, while the candles burn

Sink, till the eagles turn

Life is a spark then a song

And the stories carry on
