An Cat Dubh Once Lyrics

Once Lyrics

e C

Once, when I was dead, 

a G e

and lying still upon a dirty
bed,

e C

a hag went through my clothes

a G e

- her
fingers cracked and dryer than a bone,



I screamed (but just in my
head) 

This corpse which lay upon a farmers bed,

But my watch, my
wallet was gone;

she was deceived and disappointed at every turn,



A battle - thats what had passed,

And me just a footsoldier
killed in the mud,

With a hole next to my heart;

At least thats
what it seemed like just at the start,



But the hole was filled by
her hand

As she groped around for something she could take,

I
guess, the spoils of war

Should just lie back and then complain no
more,



So this - could this be the key?

To my general sexual
inability -

To feel, the victim of theft

And me without a heart
left in my chest
