Flogging Molly - This Present State Of Grace Lyrics






In this present state of grace
I hold my head up high
Though the water damage froze
Another flood will soon be by
Here and now is all we'll be
So it's this present state of grace I offer thee

Welcome home to the men
And the women who defend
Back to their lives and the lies
Shat on them by government
Through the barbs and the pokes
And the ones we'd like to choke
It's this present state of grace I offer thee

In this present state of grace
A poor man robbed me blind
Though I offered him the cash
He said 'don't insult my pride'
To each their own
We're just flesh and bone
An this present state of grace I offer thee

In this present state of grace
I saw the wall capsize
And through the banks they fell
Into the swelling tide
Let them eat cake
For our mistakes
And this present state of grace I offer thee

So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne
Under the carpet sweep behind
Where passengers making turns
Towards the coming great divide
The true prophet never spoke
He just smiles and saw the joke
And this present state of grace I offer thee

'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sell
So celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hell
The true prophet never spoke
He just smiled and saw the joke
And this present state of grace we creatures need

Yeah, it's this present state of grace we creatures need

    In this present state of grace
    I hold my head up high
    Though the water damage froze
    Another flood will soon be by
    Here and now is all we'll be
    So it's this present state of grace I offer thee

    Welcome home to the men
    And the women who defend
    Back to their lives and the lies
    Shat on them by government
    Through the barbs and the pokes
    And the ones we'd like to choke
    It's this present state of grace I offer thee

    In this present state of grace
    A poor man robbed me blind
    Though I offered him the cash
    He said 'don't insult my pride'
    To each their own
    We're just flesh and bone
    An this present state of grace I offer thee

    In this present state of grace
    I saw the wall capsize
    And through the banks they fell
    Into the swelling tide
    Let them eat cake
    For our mistakes
    And this present state of grace I offer thee

    So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne
    Under the carpet sweep behind
    Where passengers making turns

    This is the song I will play at my funeral because death is only Grace and it is a party with no sadness yet rejoice over the new plan of existince the dead one is in for when the boat sails u must ride

  4. J.... ....

    This IS the song I'll be playing once my daugther is born. Can't find any other that could get near to what I'll feel by then.

  5. D.... D....

    yes it sounds like if i ever leave this world alive, same chords

    D.... D....

    Bitter Valentines yup

  6. s.... ....

    Agreed, great album! Drunken lullabies is still my number one I think, but speed of darkness might be my scond faavourite..

    s.... ....

    searats20 Drunken lullabies will probably forever be my favorite Flogging Molly Album and it's probably not ever going to be close, yet they continue to make awesome music anyway

  7. s.... ....

    now I agree :) it's amazing, but one has to say that IMHO the whole album the speed of darkness is amazing, I'm not saying that is theur best one, but is one of their best one I think :)

  8. s.... ....

    True, revolution is another one of my favourites on here!

  9. s.... ....

    i don't agree that is the best song of the albm (because there are also revolution and the speed of darkness that are amazing) but it' really beautiful :D

  10. T.... ....

    This song makes me... happy.

    R.... M....

    Bobbel292 make the 61k haha amazing right

  14. T.... ....

    The fact that the opening sounds so much like another Flogging Molly song "If I ever leave this world alive" was a bit off putting at first.

    I'm soooo glad I gave this track another chance though. Awesome song.

  15. D.... P....

    @searats20 Fuck yea

  16. s.... ....
