"The heavens roared and o' the heavens roared

But now no wave impedes or flows

With the tears of young Paddy's laments"



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

Feel the shore



When the red rose paled

Lay a thousand graves many more

Though their ghosts still haunt



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

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

Though their ghosts still haunt



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
