The official lyrics from the show's site, if anyone's looking for them: Our days here are numbered Says the ghost to her lover Let us offer ourselves up To the evening's distractions Put your mask on Put your mask on Death is the scourge of the living Living's the scourge of the earth Earth says "y'all better hope heaven can find you some more midnight oil to burn" 'Cause heaven is nought but the world we were given is nought but more hellish each year (Death is the scourge of the living) It's a hundred degrees at the end of October And nought to be done but ignore it together with masks on (Living's the scourge of the earth) Put your mask on We'll float through the ballroom You won't know me I won't know you With these thin veils between us And our lives flying past, Love Put your mask on Put your mask on An angel is nought but a ghost with a halo is nought but a circle of fear Made of every mistake that's been made in its orbit If you're feeling rough now just wait 'til the morning 'Cause heaven is nought but the world we were given is nought but more hellish each year It's a hundred degrees at the end of October And nought to be done but ignore it together But death is a function of living (with masks on) And living's a function of God And God is a function of masquerade balls for the dead that the living hath wrought while they're singing that Death is the scourge of the living Living's the scourge of the earth Death is the scourge of the living Living's the scourge of the earth
Great song! I love the chanting vocals and the mandolin arpeggios.
Another excellent, complex hight quality song of the week. Amazing and thank you.
The official lyrics from the show's site, if anyone's looking for them:
Our days here are numbered
Says the ghost to her lover
Let us offer ourselves up
To the evening's distractions
Put your mask on
Put your mask on
Death is the scourge of the living
Living's the scourge of the earth
Earth says "y'all better hope heaven can find you some more midnight oil to burn"
'Cause heaven is nought but the world we were given is nought but more hellish each year
(Death is the scourge of the living)
It's a hundred degrees at the end of October
And nought to be done but ignore it together with masks on
(Living's the scourge of the earth)
Put your mask on
We'll float through the ballroom
You won't know me I won't know you
With these thin veils between us
And our lives flying past, Love
Put your mask on
Put your mask on
An angel is nought but a ghost with a halo is nought but a circle of fear
Made of every mistake that's been made in its orbit
If you're feeling rough now just wait 'til the morning
'Cause heaven is nought but the world we were given is nought but more hellish each year
It's a hundred degrees at the end of October
And nought to be done but ignore it together
But death is a function of living
(with masks on)
And living's a function of God
And God is a function of masquerade balls for the dead that the living hath wrought while they're singing that
Death is the scourge of the living
Living's the scourge of the earth
Death is the scourge of the living
Living's the scourge of the earth
Ted Poor is a MONSTER. Love it.
Hits different with corona
Sick
Love it, better and better as it goes on!
They could make a whole album of LFH Halloweentime songs. This one's a banger
killer
Wish there were five more minutes so they could crush that "Graveyard Stomp Groove" at the end.
Strains of "She's Always a Woman" @3:28?
This is related to 2020
This aged well....
I think I liked when the title was 'Death is the Scourge of the Living' much more. Ah well.
Did they rename the video, it is this a reused song?
