(Lyrics Below)

(Comma's used as slight pause)

Back in 58, it was long ago and we made fine works of leather that we worked with and sold, with my father Jacob MacManus my name was Noah, then 3 men came upon us from the mafia. They tried extorting my dad but then he refused, then they attacked, red and bloodied was the hammer they used, and I watched from above as my father died, we were over his body my best friend Louie and I. We devised a plan and we tracked them down and I had my revenge, but I never came around. So I made a vest and we worked with each other, Louie'd do the planning and I would do the other..

(Chorus)
And Sheppard's we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to the and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti..

For years it went on, I was killing this way, and I was used for different jobs, they all ended the same. I had one rule no woman & children only wise guys, then in 1975 I got 25 to life. Louie set me up, felt he had no choice and I would have rat him out but he learned of the birth of my two boys. Was in Hoag prison for 25 years and the mob pulled some strings to get me out of here. They called me Il Duce and they needed my help, someone was going all around Boston getting all their men killed. They only knew of Rocco, so I went to the site and I waited in the road and there was a firefight. We fired and we fired that day and for whatever divine reason with our lives we got away. Something different about those lads than my jobs from the past they kicked some ass now I'm off to Yakavetta's home base. I was taking out his men when I realized that those boys were being held in the basement and I heard a lot of noise. I went in, it was there that I heard my family prayer, known by none other than their mother and my only sons..

(Chorus)
And Sheppard's we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to the, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti..

Reuinited with my sons Murphy and Conner, their buddies helped us Dolly, Duffy, Greenly, Agent Paul Smecker. Yakavetta's court trial would never have worked so we decided to reveal our existence to the world. So we made them watch and we did the Lord's work and they told what they saw and the world remembered, but we had to leave, there was too much heat to the home country, Conner Murphy and me. Ten years went by and my boys had to go I stayed behind and I began to feel old. And when I arrived, it was just in time, to stop the man, my boys were after for this crime. He killed their priest and detective Greenly and our new friends Romeo and Agent Bloom had helped me, to locate the man, who was behind this whole plan, was a head of the mob and my old best friend..

(Bridge)
Arrive at the compound and I find him sitting. Louie was a good man but he strayed. The fight concludes and now my time has ended. And now my boys shall lead the way..

(Chorus)
And Sheppard's we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to the, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
