Blue Tattoo

Lyrics: John O'Flynn
Music: David Brandes, Jane Tempest


once upon a lifetime
the spirits of the dark
came to kill the beauty
of our world

every soul was spell bound
and prisoned into ice
just shining through
sad as a blue tattoo

tears have turned to ice
as a sacrifice
broken voices rise
from the age of the ice
to the raging skies
and they exorcise
'cos on judgement day
we must hide - we must fight - we must pray - hey
it's a blue tattoo

but the monks of mercy
they prayed for every soul
'til the sword of fire
took control

in a crash of thunder
the ice broke into two
and shining through
there was the blue tattoo

tears have turned to ice
as a sacrifice
broken voices rise
from the age of the ice
to the raging skies
and they exorcise
'cos on judgement day
we must hide - we must fight - we must pray - hey
it's a blue tattoo

Mönche:

you know
down low
there's a light - it's a true - blue tattoo
just go
down low
gotta hide now - gotta fight now
gotta save your soul and pray
gotta break the ice away
gotta find the true blue tattoo
