Artist/Band: Flogging Molly
Lyrics for Song: What's Left Of The Flag
Lyrics for Album: Whiskey On A Sunday [2006]



His eyes they closed

and his last breath spoke

he had seen all to be seen

a life once full

now an empty vase

wilt the blossums

on his early grave



walk away me boy

walk away me boy

and by morning we'll be free

wipe that golden tear

from your mother dear

and raise what's left

of the flag for me



then the rosary beads

count them 1 2 3

fell apart as they hit the floor

in a garb of black

we must pay respect

to the color we're born to mourn



walk away me boys

walk away me boys

and by morning we'll be free

wipe that golden tear

from your mother dear

raise what's left

of the flag for me



In his place there grew

an angry festered wound

filled with hatred and remorse

where I pick and scratch

'til the blood amassed

to silent rage now that fills my lungs

for there are many ways

to kill a man they say

with bayonet, axe or sword

but son a bullet fired

from a shapeless guise

just leaves the shell of a Thompson gun



walk away me boys

walk away me boys

and by morning we'll be free

wipe that golden tear

from your mother dear

raise what's left

of the flag for me



from the east out to the western shore

where many men and many more will fall

but no angel flies with me tonight

though freedom reigns on all

and curse the name for which

we slaved our days

so every men chose Kingdom Come



But sure as night turns day

it's the passion play

oh my God

what have they done

with madmans rage

well they dug our graves

but the dead rise again you fools



walk away me boys

walk away me boys

and by morning we'll be free

wipe that golden tear

from your mother dear

raise what's left

of the flag for me



walk away me boy

walk away me boys

and my morning we'll be free

wipe that golden tear

from your mother dear

and raise what's left

of the flag for me
