What's Left of the Flag - Flogging Molly

Lyrics by：Flogging Molly

Composed by：Flogging Molly

His eyes they close 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 boy walk away me boy

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

Then the rosary beads count to one two three

Fell apart as they hit the floor

In a garb of black we must pay respect

To the color we were born to mourn

Walk away me boys 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

In a spiked ruin an angry festered wound

Full of hatred and remorse

Where I pick and scratch at the blooded mess

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 gun

Just put 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 fashion play

Oh my God what have they done

With madmen rage well the dogged craze

But the dead rise again you fools

Walk away me boys walk away me boys

And my 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 boys 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
