Flogging Molly - Crushed (Hostile Nations) lyrics
[Flogging Molly - Crushed Hostile Nations lyrics]
As the morning rose the sun exposed
The hell that was the day
As our ships dropped ground
With a mighty sound
We were crushed like lifeless souls
And our hearts they sank
With each wave they crashed
Another life to mourn for the new black flag
Is the same old flag we’ve
All seen raised before
In the middle of hope and glory
Took the field of love and hate
There’s a boy with his toy soldiers
Playing war in a boyish way hear the message
Play the piper to a land where all is safe
Cross a bridge without a border
Lost forever somehow we were
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Johnny wrote in the beginning
But the word was not the word
I don’t claim to be the father
Just the son of a human birth
Kill the septic in the lifeline
Is the face of the lost and lonely
Turn their arms around the fractured
Broken bones is all we had
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Oh my god what have we done here
Oh my god are you still real
Oh my god your cross looks broken
Like the face in your imagery
Hear the message hear the piper
To a land where all is safe where the devils
And the angels sing together all and we were
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile nations
The hell that was the day
As our ships dropped ground
With a mighty sound
We were crushed like lifeless souls
And our hearts they sank
With each wave they crashed
Another life to mourn for the new black flag
Is the same old flag we’ve
All seen raised before
In the middle of hope and glory
Took the field of love and hate
There’s a boy with his toy soldiers
Playing war in a boyish way hear the message
Play the piper to a land where all is safe
Cross a bridge without a border
Lost forever somehow we were
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Johnny wrote in the beginning
But the word was not the word
I don’t claim to be the father
Just the son of a human birth
Kill the septic in the lifeline
Is the face of the lost and lonely
Turn their arms around the fractured
Broken bones is all we had
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Oh my god what have we done here
Oh my god are you still real
Oh my god your cross looks broken

To a land where all is safe where the devils
And the angels sing together all and we were
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Crushed, crushed
7 long days is a lifetime we were
Crushed (under the black flag) , crushed (same as the old flag)
Living in a world full of hostile nations
Living in a world
Living in a world full of hostile nations
