The heavens roared and O'the heavens roared
And the drowning of a nation commenced
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 lets cherrish 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 lets sever the shame we have come to reclaim
With the waters 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 you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's Lament

Rip the grief from it's heart
There's no sorrow tonight
For now once bannished dreams sleep devine
Where the silence you hear is
the prosper we share
The only blade is a razor sharp smile

Still the 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 you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's Lament

Grab the leaf of the branch
From the tree in it's 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 rember the gun and the damage it's done
The last drop as been spilt 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 you 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 you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's Lament
No more tears
No more paddy's Lament
