The flies are coming, motherWelcome welcome welcome
welcome to the Holy Day
brother brother brother
sister sister sister
you must be certain of the Devil on the Holy Day
You must be certain on the Holy Day
The flies are coming, mother
and the end of the day
the flies are coming, daddy
to steal my soul away
the flies are coming, sister
serve your brother while you may
welcome to the Holy Day
It's time to take sides
don't wait up for nobody.
It's time to realize
there's no victim but the willing.
It's time to recognize
No-one waits for the dead man
No-one but the Lord of the Flies
No-one but the Lord of the Flies
You must be certain of the Devil
because he knows your name
You must be certain of the Devil
because he's counting on your shame
You must be certain of the Devil
because he's certain of you
You must be certain of the Devil right now.
The good man is present on the Holy Day
The good man is ready on the Holy Day
The good man is steady on the Holy Day
Welcome to the Holy Day
The key to the city
is to the man who doesn't run
the key to the city
is to the man who takes a gun
the key to the city
is to the man who keeps his friend
and to the man who doesn't leave him till the end
The road to the city is paved in desolation
The road to the city is paved in tribulation
The road to the city is paved in desperation
Welcome to the Holy Day
