(No More) Paddyâs Lament Lyrics
4 Contributors(No More) Paddyâs Lament LyricsIn a âFasterLouderâ interview guitarist Casey Denney revealed that this is a song of optimism for the future of Ireland:
Itâs sort of like a reply to âDrunken Lullabiesâ from our 2002 album, which is about⊠Read More 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 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 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
But the only thing lost is the pain when nothing was more
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 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 gloom we once shared
Brush the tear from the eye that still shines
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
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
Float Lyrics
4 ContributorsFloat LyricsDrank away the rest of the day, I wonder what my liver'd say
Drink, that's all you can
Blackened days with their bigger gales blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Listen, that's all you can
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
No, don't, don't sink the boat
That you built
Sick and tired of what to say, no one listens anyway
Sing, that's all you can
Rambling years of lousy luck, you miss the smell of burning turf
Dream, that's all you can
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
No, don't, don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
Singled out for who you are, it takes all types to judge a man
Feel, that's all you can
Filthy suits with bigot ears hide behind their own worst fears
Live, that's all you can
It's all you can
It's all you can do
No matter where I put my head, I'll wake up feeling sound again
Breathe, that's all you can
Tomorrow smells of less decay, the flowers greet this blooming fray
Be thankful, that's all you can
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
No, don't, no, don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
No, don't, no, don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am
I'm a ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, just doing the best I can
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, that's what I am
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, just doing the best I can
The best I can
You Wonât Make a Fool Out of Me Lyrics
4 ContributorsYou Wonât Make a Fool Out of Me LyricsWrite these words for lost inspiration
Ain't that a barrel full of laughs?
Work your arse off for the crumbs on the table
Where they fall hungry on your lap
Whatever became of the seed
That once grew in your hand
And the dirt where you fingers did bleed
Has all rushed to your head
But you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
Purse strings break, they're not made of elastic
And I'm no puppet on your shelf
You won't sing when this singer is songless
I'm not a notch in your fat belt
For green is the heart of your greed
That much I can tell
You may think you're the captain of me
But I'm your coffin ship from hell
But you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
No, you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
So I'll drag these bones across the earth
With the dead I'll never sleep
Where I'll haunt you for a thousand years
Without breath you'll never breathe
For an empty shell your grave will fill
Alas for evermore
And you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of
Bite the hand that fed you from nothing
Get that monkey off your back
Empty lives bring false celebrations
That's not my meaning of success
For green is the heart of your greed
That much I can tell
And you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
Says you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
Says you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
Us of Lesser Gods Lyrics
2 ContributorsUs of Lesser Gods LyricsThere's a breeze that's blowing in from the land
Instead of salt air, all we breathe in is sand
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
A whisper's now saying what words used to speak
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
The damage now glistens, see how it glows
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Take me back, take me back to the way life used to be
Yesterday is better than it is today
And today will be better than tomorrow, they say
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
That's live and let live, we're all different accounts
But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched
But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where no devil could spawn
Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lied
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
So come down from your heaven, Lord, let me show you hell on earth
Take me back to the way life's never been
The Story So Far Lyrics
3 ContributorsThe Story So Far LyricsYou always had what you wanted
So leave it behind
And if the glass isn't broken
Then the future's not blind
All that you know
Means nothing to you
But it's the loss of control
Shatters the truth
Cause the story so far is already here
We've made it this far through the daggered-edge spears
But life cuts to pieces till the wounds hold no secrets
Makes it all who you are
Love craves self destruction
It's a blizzard in hand
You lay your cards on the table
But you're not in command
So burn with the fire
You so eagerly lit
Watch the flames flicker higher
Say I don't care about me
Cause the story so far is already here
We've made it this far through the daggered-edge spears
But life cuts to pieces till the wounds hold no secrets
Makes it all who you are
Makes it all who you are
Makes it all who you are
Makes it all who you are
Though it's bitter, the pill
That you swallow to feel
I don't care what I lost
I just thank God I'm alive
Makes it all who you are
Makes it all who you are
Makes it all who you are
Makes it all who you are
That's the story so far
