Karaoké What's Left of the Flag Flogging Molly

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 blossoms on his early grave

Walk away me boys

Walk away me boys 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 on two three fell apart as they hit the floor

In a garb of black we must pay respect ro the color we're born to mourn

Walk away me boys

Walk away me boys by morning we'll be free

Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear

And raise what's left of the flag for me yah

In its place that grew an angry festered wound

Full of hatered and remorse

Where I pick and scratch 'till the blood it matched

Silent rage that now 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 put the shell of a Thompson gun

Walk away me boy

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 madman's rage well they dug our graves

But the dead rise again you fools

Walk away me boy

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 by morning we'll be free

Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear

And raise what's left of the flag for me yah
