Paroles de (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
