An Cat Dubh Ritual Lyrics

Ritual Lyrics

F G C

Remembering promises 

F G C

once made but now
unspoken

F G C

born of child-like minds

F G C

these
shadows are now forsaken



a e

From the dawn of the first
day

F G

to this death-bed on which you lay

a e

to
survive we must comply

F G

with the ritual of your life





Can you remember things we said

the dream is our expectation

like ashes scattered in the wind

theres no recollection



Throughout the yelling cheers

faith will allay your years

follow
the holy rites

in the ritual of life



Try to remember if you
can

the pacts we made solemn

hands of time have bought decay

the memories are forgotten



Now as you reach the end

all
pain youll transcend

when you die you cant deny

the ritual of
life
