An Cat Dubh Come Rise My Son And Walk
Carnal gladiators lie restless awaiting the dawn
Slaves to their passion, so eager its will to perform
Theyll fight a restless fight, face the foe hand to hand
The arena is life, but alone in the spotlight they stand
Chorus:
You brand the social leper, then spare no second thought
Too scared to give the kiss of life, come rise my son and walk
On these streets of damnation, the destitute huddle once more
Can we pass them by, like all whove been here before
Are you so cold and cruel, that you can feel no shame
That we allow human life, to become a death in vain
A fear thats bred of ignorance, perpetuates the lie
Well there but for the mercy, and the grace of God go I
