Two - Owl John, Scott Hutchison, Andy Monaghan

The feast falls onto the boxer who comforts a thief

Who clings to the author, gritting her teeth

She’s watched by a killer, who carries a child

Dropped by his mother, she ran for her life

The boy holds on to his boyfriend starting to weep

For a long lost lover who died in her sleep

The end has come early, look what it brought

No final horses, no god

Hold me as though it’s the end of the earth

When the signal sounds for the fake rebirth

We have nothing to show, no chapter or verse

So will you hold me as though it’s the end of the earth

The earth is strewn with skeletons in hideous heaps

Skull upon skull till the edge of the sea

And the great gold sun has set on our bones

Clutching each other evermore

Hold me as though it’s the end of the earth

When the signal sounds for the fake rebirth

We have nothing to show, no chapter or verse

So will you hold me as though it’s the end of the earth

(Gaelic)
