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
