The Waterboys — Malediction

I am walking in the last rays of the setting sun Whistling a hangman's tune with head held high swinging my gun I say this little boy is angry, i say this little boy is mad! This little boy comes to destroy, stone-eyed, cold-faced in swathes of vengeance clad And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows In my wake are seven men who tried to steal my soul In my belly six wild wolves curse and howl from their foul hole I say no earthly will may stop me, i say no earthly will may try No earthly will may halt the spill of blood from wounds and tears from craving eyes And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows Below me burn the city lights like fires of pearls and jewels I'm climbling down the city walls, unseen, unfussed - the sentries must be fools I say all pleasantries are over, i say all pleasantries are past My enemies, you pimps and thieves, prepare to meet your nemesis at last And the black cock crows. and the dead wind blows
