Martyn Green — Away Away My Heart's On Fire lyrics

Lyrics

Away, away! my heart’s on fire;
I burn, this base deception to repay.
This very night my vengeance dire
Shall glut itself in gore. Away, away!
Away, away! ere I expire
I find my duty hard to do to-day!
My heart is filled with anguish dire,
It strikes me to the core. Away, away!
With falsehood foul
He tricked us of our brides.
Let vengeance howl;
The Pirate so decides.
Our nature stern
He softened with his lies,
And, in return,
To-night the traitor dies.
Yes, yes! to-night the traitor dies!
Yes, yes! to-night the traitor dies!
To-night he dies!
Yes, or early to-morrow.
His girls likewise?
They will welter in sorrow.
The one soft spot
In their natures they cherish--
And all who plot
To abuse it shall perish!
To-night he dies…
