Fiach Moriarty - Confession (Live in Vicar Street)

Father forgive me for the things that I'm about to do
I've been a good man who has lived his life as best he can
I've loved my dear wife and now I give my life to fight for this land

St. Christopher please guide me as I travel toward
My destiny as I strike a blow so that we may be free
Come has the day when the demons will be driven away

Give me the strength please Gabriel for to carry out
What I have planned with my comrades who will ask the same
Rid this great land of the hunger and the hatred and pain

But of one thing I'm sure is that the spilling of blood will be good to say
As no man's slave

You don't own this and you don't know this
Is the very thing that will take you
It's the very thing that will turn you to stone
May Almighty God have mercy on your soul

Michelina I have seen a ballerina dance
Bare-foot and ragged, still a smile sang in her cherub eyes
And now I pray for my angel who was taken away

Mother most pure I have waited so long for this hour
Offer me up in the wonder of your divine power
Forgive me my sins and the sins of those who trespass

But of one thing I'm sure is that the spilling of your blood will be good to say
That I'm not your slave

You don't own this and you don't know this
Is the very thing that will take you, it's the very thing that will turn you to stone
And may Almighty God have mercy on your soul
