Hallowed Fire - Mairead Nesbitt

Up on the hill they sit upon their thrones After dark they call for those without a home Built by slaves on hollowed ground Their graves are lost and never found Ancient ones have always known They would all be ground to stone Lost souls will rise At the toll of the bell All seeing eyes Don't try to fight There's no way out Forever trapped on hallowed ground As the earth grows cold we hear the soundless cry Look beyond and realize the dead don't die Through the years they've roamed the place Native sons of noble race Pain and suffering they felt From injustice they were dealt Lost souls will rise At the toll of the bell All seeing eyes Don't try to fight There's no way out You're gonna die on hallowed ground Few escaped to tell the tale Of this primeval horror I have fled, but am I free Or am I damned eternally? After all these years we still can hear the sound Of the ancient ones who died on hallowed ground

My soul can't be sold Shake me cold, shake me cold That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground My spirit never told Break my bone, break my bone That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground That's hallowed That's hallowed That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground Do your dirt, make your mark My heart is a church of scars That's hallowed ground Break my skin, crack my stone My holy land still aglow That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground That's hallowed That's hallowed That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground, yeah, yeah That's hallowed ground Nothing's sacred if it's wasted Would be safer to bury it alive But I still taste it and hate but this won't turn me blind Won't turn me blind That's hallowed ground That's hallowed (ground), oh-oh That's hallowed ground (yeah, yeah) That's hallowed ground (hallowed ground) That's hallowed ground (yeah, yeah) That's hallowed ground (oh) That's hallowed That's hallowed That's hallowed ground (yeah, yeah) That's hallowed ground That's hallowed ground (yeah, yeah) That's hallowed ground

Used to be vulnerable Used to be dumb I used to give it all, mmm Hot like a firestone 100 degrees Oh but now I'm so cold when they kiss me They touch me, they freeze They say Why'd you never trust Why'd you never love Why'd you never let 'em in? Why'd you wake up With somebody in your bed again? And say you love them till you leave Why you out so late Dancing with your fake friends Getting in a state? When the good guys come why'd you run away? Why'd you hurt them? Well I'll tell you When you're young and you get your heartbroken And he leaves, leaves the scars open When you can't believe it's over That's when you get a little colder Yeah, when your heart's broken And he leaves, leaves the scars open Drunk cry-crying on his shoulder That's when you get a little colder They'd have to break me down Show me real love Oh but lately these boys, all they do is they fuck my head up They say Why'd you never trust Why'd you never love Why'd you never let 'em in? Why'd you wake up With somebody in your bed again? And say you love them till you leave Don't you wanna stay Don't you wanna try Putting up a fight Deep down you know You know you could make it right Don't just give in Oh no When you're young and you get your heartbroken And he leaves, leaves the scars open When you can't believe it's over That's when you get a little colder Yeah, when your heart's broken And he leaves, leaves the scars open Drunk cry-crying on his shoulder That's when you get a little colder Oh na-na Oh na-na Oh na-na That's when you get a little colder Oh na-na When you let your guard go When you let your heart fall When it starts to hurt oh That's when you get a little colder When you're young and you get your heartbroken And he leaves, leaves the scars open When you can't believe it's over That's when you get a little colder When you're young and you get your heartbroken And he leaves, leaves the scars open When you can't believe it's over That's when you get a little colder Yeah, when your heart's broken And he leaves, leaves the scars open Drunk cry-crying on his shoulder That's when you get a little colder When you let your guard go When you let your heart fall When it starts to hurt oh That's when you get a little colder When you let your guard go When you let your heart fall When it starts to hurt oh That's when you get a little colder
