Flogging Molly - Paddy's Lament (No More) lyrics
[Flogging Molly - Paddy's Lament No More lyrics]
Wipe the blood from your lip with
The flesh of your hand
There's no thorn in the side left to grow
So let's cherish the names that
Were lost for our age
With the ruin now the suffer must go
Where traditions they blend lives a
Home on the mend
The grass glistens now for all sides
So let's sever the shame we
Have come to reclaim
With the water's retreat, feel the shore
When the red rose paled
Lay a thousand graves, many more
Though their ghosts still haunt for the
Day we've come to live for
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved
The exiled are home where their
Souls were kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears, no more Paddy's Lament
Rip the grief from it's heart
There's no sorrow tonight
For now once banished dreams sleep divine
Where the silence you hear is
The prosper we share
The only blade is a razor sharp smile
Still a church bell rings to collect
The sins that still roam
But the only thing lost is the
Pain when nothing was more
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved
The exiled are home where their
Souls were kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears, no more Paddy's Lament
Grab the leaf of the branch from
The tree in it's ground
Where these roots claim the earth
Many toiled to a land that now stands
Under no one's command
And her beauty, let no man destroy
So remember the gun and the damage it's done
The last drop has been spilled for you and I
Let there be no despair for
The gloom we once shared
Brush the tear from the eye that still shines
When the red rose paled
Lay a thousand graves, many more
Though their ghosts still haunt for the
Day we've come to live for
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved
The exiled are home where their
Souls were kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved
The exiled are home where their
Souls were kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears, no more Paddy's Lament
The flesh of your hand
There's no thorn in the side left to grow
So let's cherish the names that
Were lost for our age
With the ruin now the suffer must go
Where traditions they blend lives a
Home on the mend
The grass glistens now for all sides
So let's sever the shame we
Have come to reclaim
With the water's retreat, feel the shore
When the red rose paled
Lay a thousand graves, many more
Though their ghosts still haunt for the
Day we've come to live for
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved
The exiled are home where their
Souls were kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears, no more Paddy's Lament
Rip the grief from it's heart
There's no sorrow tonight
For now once banished dreams sleep divine
Where the silence you hear is
The prosper we share
The only blade is a razor sharp smile
Still a church bell rings to collect
The sins that still roam
But the only thing lost is the

Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved
The exiled are home where their

Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears, no more Paddy's Lament

Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears for young Paddy's Lament
No more tears, no more Paddy's Lament
