Wipe the blood from you lip
With the flesh of your hand
There’s no thorn in the side
Left to grow
So lets cherish the names
that were lost for an age
with the room now
this supper must go
where traditions they blend
lends a home on the mend
the grass glistens now
for all eyes
so lets ever the shame
we have come to reclaim
with the waters retreat
feel the shore
with the red rose pale
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
they exiled the home
where the solider kept safe
take me back
on the crest of a wave
no more tears for your patty's lament
no more tears no more paddy's
lament
with the grief from his heart
there’s no sorrow tonight
for now 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
where the only thing lost is the pain
that nothing wont moor
don't look back
for what's dead now is saved
they exiled the home
where the solider kept safe
take me back
on the crest of a wave
no more tears for your patty's lament
no more tears no more paddy's
lament
drop the leave of the branch
from the tree in it's ground
where these roots bring the earth
many child
to a land that now stands
under no one's command
and their beauty left no man destroyed
so remember the gun
and the damage it done
the last drop has been spilled
for you and I
let there be no despair
from the room we once shared
bush the tear from the eye that still shines
with the red rose pale
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
they exiled the home
where the solider kept safe
take me back
on the crest of a wave
no more tears for your patty's lament
don't look back
for what's dead now is saved
they exiled the home
where the solider kept safe
take me back
on the crest of a wave
no more tears for your patty's lament
no more tears for your patty's lament
no more tears no more paddy's
lament
