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 d**h-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
