No More Paddys Lament

verse 1 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 all fights So let's sever the shame we have come to reclaim With the water's retreat feel the shore Pre-Chorus 1 When the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more Though the ghost still haunts 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 are 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 verse 2 Rip the greed from his heart, there's no sorrow tonight For now once paddy's dreams sleep divine Where the silence ya hear is the prosper we share The only blade is a razor sharp smile Pre-Chorus 2 Still the church bell rings to collect the sins that still roam But the only thing lost is the pain of nothing once more Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved The exiled are home where their souls are 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 Interlude verse 3 N.C. Grab the leaf of the branch from the tree in its ground N.C. Where the roots claimed the earth many toiled N.C. 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 Pre-Chorus 1 When the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more Though the ghost still haunts 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 are 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 Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved The exiled are home where their souls are 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
