An Cat Dubh Ritual Lyrics

F G C
Remembering promises
F G C
Once made but now unspoken
F G C
Born of child-like minds
F G C
These shadows are now forsaken
A e
From the dawn of the first day
F G
To this death-bed on which you lay
A e
To survive we must comply
F G
With the ritual of your life
Can you remember things we said
The dream is our expectation
Like ashes scattered in the wind Theres no recollection
Throughout the yelling cheers
Faith will allay your years
Follow the holy rites
In the ritual of life
Try to remember if you can
The pacts we made solemn
Hands of time have bought decay
The memories are forgotten
Now as you reach the end
All pain youll transcend
When you die you can't deny
The ritual of life
