(no more) paddy's lament
Wipe the blood from your lip With the flesh of your hand Theres no thorn in the side left to grow So lets cherish the names that we lost for an age With the rue now the supper must go Where traditions they blend lives a home on the mend The grass glistens now for alls eyes So lets sever the shame we have come to reclaim With the waters retreat feel the shore for us Woth the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more Where the ghost still haunt for the day we come to the fore  [Chorus] Don't look back For whats dead now is safe The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe Take me back on the crest of a wave No more tears for you paddy's lament No more tears No more paddy's Lament  Rip the greet from his heart Theres no sorrow tonight For once banished dreams sleep divine Where the silence you hear is the prosper we shared The only blade is a razor sharp smile Still the church bell rings the collective sings that still roam But the only thing left is the pain of nothing once more  [Chorus]  Grab the leaf of the branch from the tree in the ground Where the roots claimed the earth many tioled To a land that now stands under no-ones command And her beauty let no man destroy So remember the gun and the damage it's done The last drop as been spilled for you and I Let there be no despair for the rule we once shared Brush the tear from the eye that still shines  Where the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more Where the ghost still haunt for the day we come to the fore  [Chorus: x2]  No more tears No more paddy's Lament
