"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
