Burnin' candles, up all night
Summon smoke and summon fire
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
An offering to the other side
Ancestors standing side by side
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Are you really down to ride?
Do ya have what it takes for the sacrifice?
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And if it's time, then it's my time

I hate to say I told ya
More than just a soldier
Now you know I'm stronger
Can't break my composure
I hate to say I told ya
Now I got my closure
Dancin' like it's over
It's over, you're over
Hate to say I told ya

A burial divine
Two pennies on your eyes
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Are you really down to ride?
Will have what it takes in the afterlife?
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And if it's time then it's my time

I hate to say I told ya
More than just a soldier
Now you know I'm stronger
Can't break my composure
I hate to say I told ya
Now I got my closure
Dancin' like it's over
It's over, you're over
Hate to say I told ya

Look me in the eyes, don't ya tell no lies
Now I need to know, are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid to die?
Look me in the eyes, don't ya tell no lies
Now I need to know, are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid to die?

I hate to say I told ya
More than just a soldier
Now you know I'm stronger
Can't break my composure
I hate to say I told ya
Now I got my closure
Dancin' like it's over
It's over, you're over
Hate to say I told ya

I hate to say I told ya
I hate to say I told ya
I hate to say I told ya
I hate to say I told ya
I told ya, I told ya
