Priest

Under the bridge, down by the river
Laid up in the Lions Park
I got the courage to put him down

I'll be gone in the morning

Sirens went downwind, yeah
I hear the dogs and the sergeant's voice
The fog lifts on the bloody autumn leaves
He made his choice

The air is clear, it's been raining
Salvation is here
Let the blood of the holy one
Wash away your fear

They flung me something in a sachet
Said it'll be rough, I don't know what to say
Every slave had to surrender himself
Is that a game you're willing to play?

I said I just killed Father David
Put him down with my own two hands
He got what was coming to him
All the boys will understand

I'm gonna run to the mountains
Kosciusko and Burrinjuck
Let 'em come if they catch up to me
I will die in the place I love

The air is clear, it's been raining
Salvation is here
Let the blood of the holy one
Wash away your fear

The air is clear, it's been raining
Salvation is here
Yeah, let the blood of the holy one
Wash away your fear
