Hoguera Noche
© Elanor Mitchell/The Curse of Mary Sue
Well we went out there late one night
Over the hill there were the strangest lights
The sting of guitar in our ears
The music high in the night air mix
The fire scorched and flared marigold bright
And through the trees we found the gravest sight
Flashes of colour
Eyes blackened prettier than from a fistfight,
They invited us in
The biggest grins
It was a deathday party
A deathday party
Hoguera Noche
Under the stars
It was a deathday party
A deathday party
Dia de los muertos
The best you’ve ever seen
Dia de los muertos
The best there’s ever been
The light flared as another log catches
Through the hum we heard snatches
Of loved ones lost but not forgotten
Memories safe from immolation
Shared to spare the desolation
Stories and photos
All that escape the destination
Burning
Burning
Burning up the night
And they danced
And they sang
And we danced and sang
And danced
And sang
And danced
And sang
Till death
