This song features a verse from Psalm 91:13, “You will tread upon the lion and the cobra,” from which the album title is also taken. The Bible verse is reciting in ancient Irish by Enya.
[Intro: Enya]
Óir thug sé ordú dá aingil i do thaobh:
Tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir
Iompróidh siad thú lena lámha
Sula mbuailfeá do chos in aghaidh cloiche
Satlóidh tú ar an leon is ar an nathair
Gheobhaidh tú de chosa sa leon óg is sa dragan
[Verse 1: Sinéad O’Connor]
Young woman with a drink in her hand
She likes to listen to rock and roll
She moves with the music
'Cause it never gets old
It's the only thing
That never gets old
[Verse 2: Sinéad O’Connor]
Young man in a quiet place
Got a hawk on his arm
He loves that bird
Never does no harm
It's the only thing
That never can do no harm
Must be the only thing
That never can do no harm
[Verse 3: Sinéad O’Connor]
Sun setting on the avenue
Everyone walks by
They live their life under cover
Being blind
Being blind
Being blind
[Outro: Enya]
Óir thug sé ordú dá aingil i do thaobh:
Tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir
Iompróidh siad thú lena lámha
Sula mbuailfeá do chos in aghaidh cloiche
Satlóidh tú ar an leon is ar an nathair
Gheobhaidh tú de chosa sa leon óg is sa dragan
Óir thug sé ordú dá aingil i do thaobh:
Tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir
Iompróidh siad thú lena lámha
Sula mbuailfeá do chos in aghaidh cloiche
Satlóidh tú ar an leon is ar an nathair
Gheobhaidh tú de chosa sa leon óg is sa dragan
Óir thug sé ordú dá aingil i do thaobh:
Tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir
Iompróidh siad thú lena lámha
Sula mbuailfeá do chos in aghaidh cloiche
