nathan fair - what's left of the flag lyrics

Loading...

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 boy
walk away, me boy
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe that golden tear from your mother dear
and raise what’s left of that flag for me

then the rosary beads
count ’em, 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, mе boys
walk away, me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipе the golden tear from your mother dear
and raise what’s left of that flag for me

in its place then grew an angry festered wound
filled with hatred and remorse
where i pick and scratch ’til the blood i’ve matched
the silent rage now fills my lungs
there are many ways to k!ll a man, they say
with a bayonet, an axe, or a sword
but, son, a bullet fired from a shapeless guise
only leaves the sh+ll of a thompson gun

walk away, me boys
walk away, me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
and raise what’s left of that 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 us 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

so, walk away, me boys
walk away, me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
and raise what’s left of that flag for me
walk away, me boys
walk away, me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
and raise what’s left of that flag for me

walk away, me boys
walk away, me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
and raise what’s left of that flag for me
