She wears a black veil, saint of death
She forgives and protects
The destitute prostitutes
Even the men of the Catholic institute
Why do the ministry
Call her blasphemy
Is it her lack of Mary's virginity?

Santa muerte
Estoy orando por ti
Santa muerte
I’m my own priest
Santa muerte
The pope's a man, maybe
I'll be damned
If God ain't a lady

Brujería, superstición
She ruled before la inquisición
I don't understand patriarchy
In death and sex we lie down equally

Why do the ministry
Call her blasphemy
Is it her lack of Mary's virginity?

Santa muerte
Estoy orando por ti
Santa muerte
I’m my own priest
Santa muerte
The popes a man, maybe
But I'll be damned
If God ain't a lady

Holy death
Holy death
Holy death
Holy death

Santa muerte
Estoy orando por ti
Santa muerte
I’m my own priest
Santa muerte
The pope's a man, maybe
But I'll be damned
If God ain't a lady
