Dead Alive

about

MIY presents their 2023 Halloween special, "Dead Alive". Reaching back to the roots of this night, we invite you to remember the dead with us with this haunting song.

lyrics

We have come far
Looking for light beyond the shard-field of a broken heart
The dead comes alive
The ashes of November take shape in candle light

Bow, bow willow tree in the wind
Weep gray sky, for the passed and his coming

Hallowed by thy gaze
I wander this barren waste
The ones who will never arrive
We keep the dead alive
Keep the dead alive
Forgive me, but forget me not
The rope is tied, and you are the knot
When I can hardly breathe, you make me cry
We keep the dead alive
The dead keeps us alive

This year I come, your faithful gravekeeper
Dew on the thorns that’s left of the wreath withered

We have come far
On the road towards forgiveness and feather weighed heart
The dead comes alive
Remember the bonfires and the light in those eyes

This year I come to your grave
The son, the spirit the father couldn’t save
I lay down my flower, and lay down my gun
Forgiveness is where true remembrance begun
You paid your time and I paid my due
These eyes spring tomorrow’s morning dew
Bitter and dry, yet silent I stay
In life you failed to, but in death you show me the way

Hallowed by thy gaze
The minute hand spells my waste
What if we never arrive
While we are alive
The dead is alive
I hand over my gun and hand you the leash
Be the witness of what we achieved
Remember us, while we’re alive
While we are alive
The dead is alive
