Darkness

A freezing wintermorning he was taken from his home

"We don't want you dirty **** so get lost you ugly gnome"

They beat him up they beat him down until he had no tears

his fading cries corroded in my ears

It's not my business, I don't get involved

when the final hour comes we stand alone

If they had killed me to what would it solve

as the darkness steals the day it's each his own

we all must must reap the seeds of what we've sown

The gasoline made a gurgling sound as it poured out from the can

The fumes removed the stench from the tired man

"You dirty beggars spread disease, we're cleaning up this town"

A single match was struck in Cabbagetown

In Northern Ireland lies a tiny church made out of wood

only standing room is left, a young girl dreams of sweet childhood

It only takes a moment, and the church is gone from sight

and the dream of the young girl turns into light

Come on everybody and join in the bridge

I can't change a thing, I'll get a beer from the fridge

I'm better off living than caring and dead

My mum didn't raise no empty head

It's not my business, I don't get involved,

when the final hour comes we stand alone

If they had killed me to what would it solve,

as the darkness steals the day it's each his own

Come on everybody and join in the bridge

I can't change a thing, I'll get a beer from the fridge

I'm better off living than caring and dead

My mum didn't raise no empty head

My mum didn't raise no empty head
