Bronx, The - Holy Lyrics






The grips of my guns are covered in blood
This town turned its back on the sun
Now they will see how swift judgement can be
Compared to a life on the run

Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy, the face of God appeared to me

Another city glazed, carelessly placed
Withered and waiting for trial
And now we will see how swift judgement can be
When compared to a life of denial

Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy, Mother Mary, let them all die
Slowly, hold me in your arms and please console me
Forgive what I've done, I'm your son, please don't send me to Hell

These visions you see
They're not what they seem
Even a god can be wrong
This Virgin of peace
Is down on her knees
Begging for Death to move on

Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy, Mother Mary, let them all die
Slowly, hold me in your arms and please console me
Forgive what I've done, I'm your son, please don't send me to Hell

Please don't send me to Hell, oh no

    Yes, and no; mariachi is sung in Spanish , it is Mexican music, but is someone who is white can sing it, then so be it.  Just putting on the suit and calling it mariachi does not make it so; even as, you say it is a "fusion of punk with mariachi" it is very not mariachi. I like this group a lot and there are many creative musicians/artist/singers who creatively combine elements of different styles/genres that are so unique, as to defy classification into a genre.  I would suggest a search on the tube for mariachi but you already said you don't like it.  However, I can certainly (if you want) suggest some of my very favorite mariachi songs that I grew up with- the classics, if you will.

    t.... ....

    I would like to hear some suggestions ;)

  26. t.... ....

    Mariachi El Bronx first started as a diversion for members of the long-running punk band the Bronx. They put on charro outfits, replaced their electric guitars with trumpet, violin and other traditional instruments, and introduced their own take on Mexican folk music (with soulful vocals in English by Matt Caughthran, a singer previously known for his howl).

  27. E.... M....

    Mariachi rules, Ofcourse it would inspire anybody who has a good ear for music

  28. A.... E....

    ¡Suena genial! Al mariachi mexicano le falta pasar por el conservatorio y se basa mucho en el cantante, pero esto es más musical y armónico.

  29. l.... z....

    still listen to this band on a regular

  30. j.... a....

    awesome tex-mex music...... No mex music!  just Tex music.
    Awesome

    j.... a....

    I dig The Bronx, ya dig? But I also enjoy other styles of music as well such as mariachi. As well as dnb, I was just listenin to Dieselboy and Dom & Roland... And Black Sun Empire... 

    j.... a....

    Yep-- in other words unique-- just what I said

    j.... a....

    What if I wanna say it too?

    j.... a....

    Thats Bad Company UK

    j.... a....

    I know this is on Youtube, but I love Pandora. I got off youtube a good lil min ago, now Im listenin to Black Sun Empire radio on Pandora... Now its playin N.Phect & Dizplay...

  31. s.... r....

    awesome band saw them live w slightly stoopid in stl they were jammin

  32. x.... ....

    I normally don't like mariachi, but this band is a big exception. I love the fusion of punk with mariachi. Sounds natural and fresh

    x.... ....

    Then it's not mariachi and you still don't "normally" like mariachi

    x.... ....

    @tongolelelena
    Then what is it? What genre would you define it as? Is it because the lead singer is white and sings in English?

    x.... ....

    @tongolelelena I also like the fusion / punk mix. Good quality mariachi.

  33. T.... ....

    Mexico is in North American.... 

  34. J.... H....

    Ritchie Blackmore 2

  39. S.... I....

    Fell in love with Mariachi El Bronx years ago since it reminded me of Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad should have licensed this song to the start of 'Ozymandias'

  40. F.... R....

    Hey compas les falta el sombrero mexicano,si se lo ponen se van a ver mas canbrones.

  41. Z.... ....

    This song should be in an episode of Breaking Bad.

  42. A.... J....

    Awesome I'm speechless

  43. P.... ....

    Heard one of their songs about 4 years ago. Thought they were bad ass, took me forever to remember and find them. Nice to see they're still together!!! :D VIVAN LOS MARIACHIS!!!

  44. A.... E....

    Me gusta ese sonidito a Calexico...

  45. M.... N....

  49. B.... H....

    I'm a person and I approve this.

  50. n.... ....

    These gabachos can play good music

  51. i.... i....

    was this filmed at Black Rock?

  52. T.... ....

    Callese, mariachi es el genero no quiere decir que ahuevo tiene que estar en español

  53. J.... E....

    Thanks, but we dont need a mexican to approve good music :P

  54. R.... H....

    24 people pushed the wrong thumbs up button

  55. R.... A....

    Esto es una mamada no merece llamarse mariachi

  56. D.... S....

    Saw them open for Bad Religion last night, they kicked ass.

  57. f.... ....

    Did you know that mariachi comes from France?

  58. J.... B....

    stupid gringos always taking other peoples music... must suck having no culture

    J.... B....

    White people have no culture?
    Hmmm try again sweetie

    J.... B....

    Como mexicano secundo lo de la apropiación cultural de los llamados "americanos" (porque ni eso son, le quitaron sus tierra a los verdaderos americanos y se apropiaron de su nacionalidad) pero como un fanatico de la música punk me opongo a ese argumento de que se robaron la música de otros, The Bronx aclaro que este proyecto es un tributo a la música mariachi que predomina tanto en california y tan así de bueno fue su tributo que hasta David Hidalgo de los Lobos grabo con ellos.

    J.... B....

    Well we can try with the food, all the food you have is from another countrys, like hamburguers, pizza and even tacos, and in mexico we have our own gastronomy, a gastronomy you tried to emulate with that crap called chimichangas and taco bell, should I keep trying?

  59. A.... T....

    one time at BurninG Man... a 'gringo' dressed in a full on MAriachi suit.... serenaded ME AT MIDNIGHT... AND NOW HE'S GONE ON AND SENT ME THIS LINK.... LiFE!!!

  60. J.... B....

    Reminds me of Sublime. I'm excited to see these guys open for Flogging Molly in a couple weeks

  61. A.... ....

    This is so sick. Like good sick, not bad sick.

  62. B.... ....

    How to tell the Bronx is a real punk band: one day they said "Hey wouldn't mariachi be fun?" And it was.

  63. M.... T....

    awesome video. solid storyline

  64. M.... I....

    Que putisa les pusieron, lastima de tumba, el wey la hiso bien cuadradita.

  65. o.... l....

    very good band..

  66. J.... Z....

    I dont like Mexican Regional music that much either i feel like is always for older people and very ....native ish lol...I wish there was a gender more pop for younger people with Mexican music elements

  67. m.... ....

    Dam I'm mexican raise in the u.s & I dont like much regional Mexican music but these guys somehow made something I could identify to .weird but nice

  68. f.... ....

  69. P.... ....

    Leave it to a punk rock band to make what mariachi music is supposed to sound like.

  72. n.... ....

  73. A.... H....

    the french don't like Americans, Arabs, blacks, Indians, Mexicans, people who speak French with any accent except Parisian, cripples, gays, conservatives, Obama, hippies, and Germans for some reason

  74. j.... ....

  87. B.... C....

    matt has a fantastic voice, the tone is great in whatever type of song

  88. L.... R....

    jajajajajaja muy mexicano xD

  89. E.... K....

    They didn't change their sound. The Bronx and Mariachi El Bronx are technically two bands with the same members doing their same parts. I think they went on tour together and use The Bronx to open for Mariachi El Bronx.

  90. U.... ....

    I've watched this about 30 times - at first my impression was that the man in the black hat showed mercy and let him go - now I think he does shoot him and then the mariachi joins the ghosts of his gang also killed by the man with black hat - what do you think....?

    Watch the end part again - you'll hear a faint sound of gun shot........

  91. K.... K....

    No mames! I like it, I'm from El Cajon CA and I agree mexicans are the best, the work hard and they can fix anything for way cheaper than list and their girls are fine and their food rules.

  92. D.... V....

    Soy Mexicano y vivo en Jalisco lugar del Mariachi y Tequila, aun que es Mariachi Gringo, se me hace bastante bueno

  93. H.... T....

    Very cool.

  94. M.... H....

    Interesting!!!

  95. D.... S....
