We Are The Dead

Written by Rick Springfield

We were young, lived for the dreams of our futures

Sewn up like a corpse by its sutures

While our graves we did cut long and narrow

Like an arrow

Nosotros somos los muertos (We are the dead)

Con todos nuestros recuerdos (with all of our memories)

As it begins, forgive our sins

El futuro es incierto (the future is uncertain)

We are the dead standing at the edge of the afterworld

(We are the dead)

Sugar skulls painted, bejeweled, and pearled

(You pray this prayer)

Juguetes para los angelitos (toys for the little angels)

(We are the dead)

Nosotros no haremos ruidos (we will not make noises)

I drink your wine, el verbo divino (the divine word)

Y sigo el camino (and I follow the path)

I lay my head on your pillow

Weep like a willow

Nosotros somos los muertos (We are the dead)

Con todos nuestros recuerdos (with all of our memories)

As it begins, forgive our sins

El futuro es incierto (the future is uncertain)

We are the dead, standing at the edge of the afterworld

(We are the dead)

Sugar skulls painted, bejeweled, and pearled

(You pray this prayer)

Juguetes para los angelitos (toys for the little angels)

(We are the dead)

Nosotros no haremos ruidos (we will not make noises)

I come to you

Mi amor y mi vida (my love and my life)

Tu eres la mas que vida (you are more than life)

All the wheels have stopped turning, pages burning

Nosotros somos los muertos (We are the dead)

Con todos nuestros recuerdos (with all of our memories)

As it begins, forgive our sins

El futuro es incierto (the future is uncertain)

We are the dead, standing at the edge of the afterworld

(We are the dead)

Sugar skulls painted, bejeweled, and pearled

(You pray this prayer)

Juguetes para los angelitos (toys for the little angels)

(We are the dead)

Nosotros no haremos ruidos (we will not make noises)

(We are the dead)

Standing at the edge of the afterworld

(We are the dead)

Sugar skulls painted, bejeweled, and pearled

(You pray this prayer)

Juguetes para los angelitos (toys for the little angels)

(We are the dead)

Nosotros no haremos ruidos (we will not make noises)
