An Cat Dubh Come Rise My Son And Walk Lyrics

Come Rise My Son And Walk Lyrics

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.
