1
I pull up my blanket
2
Up to my ears
3
In an old Irish prison
4
Stained with tears
5
I'm trapped in a jail cell
6
Black and grey
7
But I ain't afraid man
8
So see that I leave
9
But I ain't been locked here
10
More than my crime
11
He used to be walking
12
With faith by my side
13
I went and lost it
14
On a warm summer night
15
The night that I saw him
16
With the Devil's blue eyes
17
See I was a good man
18
A long time ago
19
Born and raised in surreals (??)
20
New Mexico
21
See I had a mother
22
Sweet as could be
23
She said son don't you follow
24
Your daddy's bad ways
25
So I found a woman
26
She was my wife
27
We made a living
28
And a beautiful child
29
Damn we were happy
30
With plenty of cash
31
But then my sweet lord
32
Took my babies and left
33
See I was just walking
34
On a cold winter eve
35
Took the train home then
36
And took out my keys
37
Unlocked the front door
38
Only to find
39
My wife and my babies
40
And the blood had run dry
41
He raped them and shot them
42
And shot them through twice
43
I screamed through the ceiling
44
And ran through the house
45
I saw his face covered
46
With the blood of my wife
47
That's when I saw him
48
With the Devil's blue eyes
49
And before I could catch him
50
He had escaped
51
I got on my knees
52
And I started to pray
53
I said what have we done here
54
To deserve such pain
55
Sweet lord you're a liar
56
And I'm alone once again
57
Lord if I may ask you
58
For one simple thing
59
I'd pray that I'd find him
60
You did these deeds
61
I'd kill that man slowly
62
So he no longer breathes
63
Oh and if I am hell bound
64
Then so let it be
65
Some 40 years later
66
I was barely alive
67
Travelling the world
68
With revenge by my side
69
I was passing by Dublin
70
On a carnival ride
71
And that's when I saw him
72
With the Devil's blue eyes
73
It took me a moment
74
To round supplies
75
So I pulled out my black gun
76
And I shot him through twice
77
He fell down quite slowly
78
No resistance or tears
79
He looked in to my eyes
80
And then it was clear
81
As I watched him there dying
82
A thought came to mind
83
What good had I done here
84
I'd taken his life
85
His blood run across me
86
And soaked me through, right
87
Then I'd become
88
The Devil's blue eyes
89
So I pull up my blanket
90
Up to my ears
91
In an old Irish prison
92
Stained with tears
93
And although I've done wrong
94
And cursed the skies
95
So now I will die here
96
With the Devil's blue eyes
