My Cause Coaxes Me
Words and Music by Carol Murphy
I have forgotten how to love.
My cause coaxes me.
I’m Stalking the hills, Daddy, I am the Cannibal nun
And in my holster, my blood-stained hand on a Red Coat’s gun
Devouring, Stealing and giving to the more than meek
Contempt and love confusing what I seek
I have forgotten how to love.
My cause coaxes me.
Abandonment of salvation, I know I is going to hell
And on the back of that, I am eating human flesh as well
And thriving off the blood of the colonizer’s crown
So well in fact that no one, no sinner, no saint, can hunt me down
Will I ever be free?
Will I ever be free?
