Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Curse the dark and evil day that ever I was born Curse my mother's loving care that made me safe from harm Curse the day I grew to be a man and learned to love Curse the love that made me learn to hate all men Curse the day that I became what I was born to be Curse all happy men on earth who were not cursed like me

Take an eye for an eye they say But an eye for an eye won't pay All that's due All that's due to a man with nothing left but hate.

Let the sun shine upon the sins of men Let the sun shine upon my dead long stray Let the stars go by in the black night sky It's a world of darkness night and day for me

Curse the day that I was born into the world I know Curse the day that I became what I was born to be Curse all happy men on earth who were not cursed like me
