Blessed and Damned - Irish Stew

Our lives are cheap and small in this rusty world of ours

One day you walk through brambles, next day you reach the stars

Then you find your fellow-traveler to stray of the way

Born in hell to be a prisoner and see the light one day

I’m so tired of second chances and those who want me down

If I become the king, they’ll take away my crown

All I want is to find the place where no one needs to hide

Where I’ll see my sweetheart happy, settled down by my side

Chorus:

And what are you searching for in the heart of the night?

It’s so hard to see the things beyond your sight

These things are always better not to be seen

Let those things only be part of your dreams

In real life, let them stay unseen

Long ago before the time, before life existed

When there only was nothingness, few things were enlisted

But Almighty spilled the ink and lost his sacred feather,

Made impossible for him to make our scant lives better

I remember many pints of finest Guinness beer

You drink it when you’re happy, you drink it when you fear

And the old man often used to speak of life as a hat

You never know the rabbit’s color, is it green, white or black

I will gladly cross the ocean, but I fear to step on a plane

On a ship I’ll get the measles and that’s pretty same

Then I’ll take the road to God knows by bus or a train

And watch little kids through window, running down a plain.
