(No More) Paddy's Lament

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 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 let's sever the shame we have come to reclaim

With the waters retreat fill the shore

When the red rose pale

Lay a thousand graves many more

Though their ghost still haunt

For the day we've come till this far

Don't look back for what's dead now is safe

The exiled, a home where their souls were kept safe

Take me back on the crest of a wave

No more tears for your Paddy's lament

No more tears, no more Paddy's lament

Rip the tree 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 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

Don't look back for what's dead now is safe

The exiled, a home where their souls were kept safe

Take me back on the crest of a wave

No more tears for your 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 claimed 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 rule we once shared

Brush the tear from the eye that still shines

When the red rose pale

Lay a thousand graves, many more

Though their the ghost still haunt

For the day we've come till this far

Don't look back for what's dead now is safe

The exiled, a home where their souls were kept safe

Take me back on the crest of a wave

No more tears for your Paddy's lament

Don't look back for what's dead now is safe

The exiled, a home where their souls were kept safe

Take me back on the crest of a wave

No more tears for your Paddy's lament

No more tears for your Paddy's lament

No more tears, no more Paddy's lament
