(No More) Paddy’s Lament Songtext
von Flogging Molly

Wipe the blood from your lip with the flesh of your hand
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 its heart, there′s no sorrow tonight
For 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
That nothing was more, Los Angeles

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 its ground
Where these roots claim the Earth many toiled
To the 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 split 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
But 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

We'd like to do something that we′ve never done in California before
And that is actually play some real songs now
Now we′d like to do a little acoustic set for you right now, okay
It's a beautiful evening here
This is a song that′s on out last album "Float"
And it's a, it′s a beloping yourself and not that dick up there on stage
