Drunken Lullabies |
| Must it take a life for hateful eyes |
| To glisten once again |
| Five hundred years like gelignite |
| Have blown us all to hell |
| What savior rests while on his cross we die |
| Forgotten freedom burns |
| Has the Shepherd led his lambs astray |
| To the bigot and the gun |
| Must it take a life for hateful eyes |
| To glisten once again |
| Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess |
| Singin' drunken lullabies |
| I watch and stare as Roisin’s eyes |
| Turn a darker shade of red |
| And the bullet with this sniper lie |
| In their bloody gutless cell |
| Must we starve on crumbs from long ago |
| Through bars these men made steel |
| Is it a great or little thing we fought |
| Knelt the conscience blessed to kill |
| Must it take a life for hateful eyes |
| To glisten once again |
| Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess |
| Singin' drunken lullabies |
| Ah, but maybe it’s the way we were taught |
| Or maybe it`s the way we thought |
| But a smile never grins without tears to begin |
| For each kiss is a cry we all lost |
| Though nothing is left to gain |
| But for the banshee that stole the grave |
| Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess |
| Singin' drunken lullabies |
| I sit in and dwell on faces past |
| Like memories seem to fade |
| No color left, but black and white |
| And soon we’ll all turn grey |
| But may these shadows rise to walk again |
| With lessons truly learnt |
| When the blossom flowers in each our hearts |
| Shall beat a new found flame |
| Must it take a life for hateful eyes |
| To glisten once again |
| Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess |
| Singin' drunken lullabies |
