Dropkick Murphys - Curse Of A Fallen Soul. Ep 1998 Hellcat Records

CURSE OF A FALLEN SOUL

.

Another wake, another time, a premature goodbye

I´ve watched you grow and seen you pass, I always knew it wouldn´t last

Together now we mourn the loss, and remember all the fun

We´ll drink the ber and hang out where death took another son

So all for one and one for all, do we ever wonder why

Though the reasons clear, this friend so dear

Was taken before his time

.

Chorus

.

So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man

With a toast tht tells of a love you never shared

So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved

Raise you glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul

.

Many bow their heads for this man they knew so well

With solemn thoughts they´ll drink and drug for a resurrection

(Facing death we fear no danger)

While mothers shed their tears trough a vail of desperation

These fiends of a vicious breed raise holy hell

.

Chorus

.

How many times can fate be chanced, the dice be rolled

Is there no path of least resistance for the bold

(It´s never sought and rarely taken)

Shocked and dismayed at how it stole this life

When this fateful course of action takes it toll

.

GOING STRONG

.

There´s a brand new century about to begin

And the kids of the 90´s are paving the path

For the youth of america, free at last

From the violence and destruction that destroyed our name

Whnever there was trouble we took the blame

But now our scene´s alive with a new generation of american kids

.

Pre-Chorus

.

We´ve worked hard now let´s enjoy

The fuits of what we´ve one, tomorrow may never come

The kids on the street will have their say now-because!

.

We´ve had enough of these negative comparisons

A new breed of kids

Brought together by movement and a sense of tradition

The strong will survive

And together our backs can never be broken

Cause now our scene´s alive

With a ner generation of american kids

.

Pre-Chorus

.

Chorus

.

You gotta live for-today!

The kids on the street are having their say

And this is-our way!

Of shwing the world what we´ve become

Because we live for-today!

The kids on the street are having their say

And this is -our way!

Of showing the world what we´ve become

We´re here, and we´re going the strong!

THE LEGEND OF FINN MacCUMHAIL(MacCOOL)

.

This mighty soldier on the eve of the war he´d wage

Told his troops of lessons learned from battles fought

"May your heart grow bolder like an iron clad brigade"

Said this leader to his outnumbered lot

.

Known as a hero to all that he knew

Long live the legend of Finn MacCumhail

The brave cetic leader of the chosen few

Long live the legend of FinnMacCumhail

.

ON THE ATTACK

.

The scene often changes, the kids come and go

But history´s for sure and this much i know

The root of tough music for america´s youth

Was old school hardcore, you know it´s the truth

.

Chorus

.

Is this my world, wolfpack,last rights,

The kids will have their say, another wasted nigh

.

There´s many forms of music,and they all play a part

As long as the meaning comes straight from the heart

So open your eyes and please use your brain

´Cause punk, Oi!, and hardcore are one in the same

.

Chorus

.

Because today we carry on and the numbers have grown

A social movement that we call our own

So let´s stick together with our friends ar our backs

Because the climate is changing, we´re on the attack
