Come here and listen to me boys |
|
For the story that I tell |
|
How I crossed the sea from Erin's shore |
|
A man condemned to sail |
|
To a land of milk and honey |
|
And whiskey by the pail |
|
They promised me a future there |
|
A life that would not fail |
|
For it's a rocky road you travel |
|
Trying to walk a righteous path |
|
I left my love back there |
|
With our baby on her lap |
|
I'm putting down my sword now |
|
I'm hanging up my gun |
|
I haven't got the will to fight |
|
This battle lost or won |
|
This home is not our home from home |
|
This land is not for free |
|
No matter where I work or roam |
|
Won't bring my country back to me |
|
[x2] |
|
In the kingdom of the lost |
|
The bullets keep on coming |
|
And the rain it never ends |
|
I don't know who I'm killing now |
|
My enemies or friends |
|
I'll drink away the darkness |
|
Till the dawn comes around |
|
You can take me if you want to |
|
Carry on, my guard is down |
|
This home is not our home from home |
|
This land is not for free |
|
No matter where I work or roam |
|
Won't bring my country back to me |
|
In the kingdom of the lost |
|
Come here and listen to me boys |
|
For the story that I tell |
|
How I crossed the sea from Erin's shore |
|
A man condemned to sail |
|
To a land of milk and honey |
|
And whiskey by the pail |
|
They promised me a future there |
|
A life that would not fail |
|
This home is not our home from home |
|
This land is not for free |
|
No matter where I work or roam |
|
Won't bring my country back to me |
|
I'm a rebel without a cause |
|
This home is not our home from home |
|
This land is not for free (I'm a patriot without a heart) |
|
No matter where I work or roam |
|
Won't bring my country back to me |
|
In the kingdom of the lost |
|
In the kingdom of the lost |
