Lyrics: Ultraviolet Empire (The Hill of Slane)
It's getting late, I think I lost my fate in the twilight-hour
But in my mind I'm still climbing up Saint Bridget’s Tower
The fog is nearly blinding and my ghost is seeing red
But in my head, I'm still hiding In Saint Kevin's Bed
I tried everything... to kill the pain
I tried everything... to kill the pain
But only the fire... on the Hill of Slane
Only the fire... Gave me back my name
The hour is wrong on every single living clock
But in my soul I'm still leaning on Saint Patrick's Rock
Holding back a Viking-ax in Glendalough
Dressed in black, a modern death-march taking off
I tried everything... to kill the pain
I tried everything... to kill the pain
But only the fire... on the Hill of Slane
Only the fire... Gave me back my name
We're living in an ultraviolet empire
We're living in an ultraviolet empire
Where Truth is a cut only some heal from
Peace is a white flag covered in blood
Love is a bullet shot from heaven
We're living in an ultraviolet empire
We're living in an ultraviolet empire
The tension of “fate up against your will” in every note
But in my mind I've hitched a ride on Saint Brendan's boat
A storm is raging in the conscience of history
But in my dream I’m in Saint Columba’s prophecy
We're living in an ultraviolet empire
We're living in an ultraviolet empire
I tried everything... to kill the pain
I tried everything... to kill the pain
But only the fire... on the Hill of Slane
Only the fire... Gave me back my name
Truth is a cut only some heal from
Peace is a white flag covered in blood
Love is a bullet shot from heaven’s gun
