Malediction Lyrics - Singles - Waterboys

I am walking in the last rays of the setting sun. 

Whistling a hangman's tune with head held high swinging my gun. 

I say this little boy is angry, I say this little boy is mad! 

This little boy comes to destroy, stone-eyed, cold-faced in swathes of 

vengeance clad. 

And the black cock crows. And a dead wind blows. 

In my wake are seven women who tried to steal my soul. 

In my belly six wild wolves curse and howl from their foul hole. 

I say no earthly will may stop me, I say no earthly will may try. 

No earthly will may halt the spill of blood from wounds and tears from craving 

eyes. 

And the black cock crows. And a dead wind blows. 

Below me burn the city lights in fires of pearls and jewels. 

I'm climbling down the city walls, unseen, unfussed - the sentries must be 

fools. 

I say all pleasantries are over, I say all pleasantries are past. 

My enemies, you pimps and thieves, prepare to meet your nemesis at last.
