What's Left of the Flag (Live From The Wiltern, Los Angeles/2006)
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 blossums 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 the flag for me
then the rosary beads count them 1 2 3 fell apart as they hit the floor in a garb of black we must pay respect to the color we're born to mourn
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
In his place there grew an angry festered wound filled with hatred and remorse where I pick and scratch 'til the blood amassed to silent rage now that 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 leaves the shell of a Thompson gun Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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 passion play oh my God what have they done with madmans rage well they dug our graves but the dead rise again you fools
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
walk away me boy 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
