Flogging Molly - Rebels of the Sacred Heart lyrics

Now I'm aiming for Heaven
But probably wind up down in Hell
Where, upon this altar
I will hang my guilt-ridden head
But, it's time I'll take, before I begin
Three sheets to the wind
Three sheets to the wind
Yeah, it's time I'll take, before I begin
Three sheets to the wind
Three sheets to the wind

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said, no ball or chain
No prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Terrified of the open road
Yeah, where it leads, you never know
But rest assured, he'll be on you back
Yeah, the Holy Ghost through
His tongues in black
As the band dog howls and
The young girl cries
The blessed virgin in her proud dad's eye
The albatross hangin' round your neck
Is the cross you bear for your sins he bleeds

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Genuflect all you refugees who fled the land
Now on guilt you kneel
And say a prayer for those left behind
From beyond the pale, to the northern sky
So you saved your shillings and
Your last six pence
Cause in God's name they built
A barbed wire fence
Be glad you sailed for a better day
But don't forget, there'll be hell to pay

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Resurrection, no protection
All things life must be
And no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart

Now bless me father for I have sinned
But, it's the same old
Story again, and again, and again ah well
Such is the bread of an everyday life
From mornin' to noon to the shadowless night
Ah well
Such is the bread of an everyday life
From mornin' to noon to the shadowless night

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
