"**Halloween in Heaven**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their seventh and final album *Dead Again*, released in 2007. It is punky resembling Carnivore but it resembles "Kill All the White People" or "We Hate Everyone" from *Bloody Kisses* in aggression. The song features the female backing vocals of Tara Vanflower from goth band Lycia. The lyrics was written about dead musicians such as Pete's close friend Dimebag Darrell, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, and Jim Morrison.

## Lyrics

The dead they got that morbid beat it goes deo deo

They dance upon decaying feet with their black toes oh no

Heaven, Limbo and Hell - purgatory oh well oh well

Halloween in Heaven - it's Christmas in Hell

Halloween in Heaven oh well oh well

The devil stole a yule tree decorated with souls

Jesus trick or treating as him below

Heaven, Limbo and Hell - purgatory oh well oh well

Halloween in Heaven - it's Christmas in Hell

Halloween in Heaven oh well oh well

Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass as guest morticians

Bon Scott on vox, Rhoads just for kicks, on guitar Hendrix

Lennon sits in with his friend George but where is Morrison?

Of course I cried when I heard they'd died and took a part of me

Same time gave from beyond the grave became what was to be

Elvis ain't dead so he isn't here party never ends

Demon roadies, angel groupies, suicide losers

If only I'd known how cool death is I'd have killed myself sooner

Of harps and choirs, pumpkin pine pyres, flames of red and green

Orange and black, years take me back - Christmas or Halloween

Halloween in Heaven - it's Christmas in Hell

Halloween in Heaven oh well oh well
