I can’t go wrong
Can only walk on
Through this mindless time
Long past my prime
I haven’t seen light
Never lost my sight
In vision of fame
Life has always been a game
The finish line is there
But I didn’t care
To cross it again
I joined Sinn Féin
At the darkest day
Right on Dublin Bay
Was my boat waiting
And my enemies hating
The sight of me still
When they tried to kill
My memory.
