Flogging Molly - What's Left Of The Flag Lyrics
His eyes they closed
and his last breath spoke
he had seen all to be seen
a life once full
now an empty vase
on his early grave
walk away me boys
walk away me boys
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
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 by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me
In its place grew
an angry festered wound
full of hatered and remorse
where I pick and scratch
till the blood it matched
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 guise
just put the shell of a Thompson gun
walk away me boy
walk away me boys
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
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 madman's rage
well they dug our graves
but the dead rise again you fools
walk away me boy
walk away me boys
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
walk away me boy
walk away me boys
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

How the fuck you excpect to defeat the Vikings? Kindness?!
Ya Celtic bastard! Yw never walk away!!!!
Never again
Haven't listened to this band since I was 14, feels nostalgic.
NorthernGhost shit it’s weird to see someone else say that
I wonder what Scottish people think of this song.
Like, this is supposed to be Irish and to resonate to Irish people and descendants, but I wonder if Scottish people don't feel like this fits them, too.
I am from neither, so I am left to speculate what Ireland and Scotland think of each other.
They will think like us Irish and be all like this is pure class🙂🇮🇪🏴
western shore
My funeral song❤️
I'm going to fight. For the green
And the green., . With my. Irish
Flag flying in the sun . I'm going to
Fight for the green and the green
To the rattle of a Thompson gun
God BLESS IRELAND.
In my opinion flogging Molly is better than the dropkick Murphy's flogging Molly is the real Irish band and I'm African American go figure
My dad died on September 6th, 2018
My dad loved all things punk. This was on of his favorite bands
This hit really close to home
god speed
*YO, I JUST LISTEN THIS SONG A TIME IT WAS ON VIVA LA BAMMMM FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE HAHAHAHA LET'S SMOKE MORE HEMP.*
*CHEERS!*
Swear this will be my funeral march
I'm Mexican and I like this
word to the Pogues........
Flogging molly is always making me smile, jump and dance at the same time. It's impossible not to move while listening to this. Sometimes I don't even listen to the lyrics, bc the music is golden
Eh my Irish grandma used to sell her red hair to the natives
siege of jadotville
"Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear, and raise what's left of the flag for me! "
488 different people weren't drunk when they listened to this song!!!
Who else was 12 years old playing Tony Hawks pro skater when they heard this the first time??
The song is very clearly about The Troubles and the numerous lives that pointlessly were lost during the conflict.
Raise a glass to the dead.
Clearly the life lost wasn't worthless - Ireland is free from British tyranny.
GLORY TO THE IRIS! *snore*
Spoken at a distance. I'm not proud I'm Irish, but I am glad. Let me know when you encounter an Irishman who takes your slurs as demeaning! We am what we is
If music taste were hereditary, then I was born to love this music. Heard one song from this band and the Irish in me immediately fell in love
In the end, if you're hear (get it hear? As in like here? No? Okay. Call me illiterate then.) You fucks with this and i fucks with you and that's all i gotta say about that
when you know they couldnt walk a mile in your shoes
Love irish irreverence for authority
The Italian Job Shawn White
Good god, that’s the most Dutch name I’ve ever seen.
⚡♠⚡
Nobody gives damn as long as youre not a fucking Scot
Damn I’m proud to be Irish. Wasn’t even born in Ireland. 100% German, but I feel whenever anyone listens to a Flogging Mollies song, were all Irish.
Happy Pattys 2019!!!! 💋
Get that fuckin orange off the flag
My was in a celtic band and she played violin. I grew up listening to Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's.
Your who?
Just saw them last night. Love this song. Glad they call my state home honoured to share michigan with them.
Raise a drink. Aye!! GOOD FUCKING FAMILY, GOOD FUCKING TIMES, and fuck anyone who says otherwise.
GO ON HOME YA GOD DAMN BLACK AND TANS!
Can't stop won't stop!
As a Malaysian, I find this song really amazing.
This is good shit, i like that
Found out I have Irish ancestry ,now I always wondered why I loved this song!
I’m Black but I want to go to Ireland and love Irish culture. In fact my name is Erin
Love it! :-)
comhghairdeas do chach
March Keegan I'll
Be there
This music just makes me wanna have a pint of Guinness and dance
Some parts sound soft but they have good flow
very nice song
Im far from irish but fuck you can never deny good music lmaoooo
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
And 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
And 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
Lyrics are in the bio, but I appreciate the effort.
im of scottish descent but this shit still slaps
Both are of pict origin
Greeting to my Irish brothers.I am Greek but i love irish sings. Greeks and Irish both were born to fight against the occupation of our land!!
Long live the white man
D-day would have been so much better with mp3 and decent speakers.
Imagine Hordes of RMC's (Royal Marine Commando's) running up the beach with their Lee-Enfield Mk.4's, Bren guns wearing the dark green berets. With this as their war song. They would have gotten through the defenses 50% faster!!
I saw flogging Molly this year in San Francisco along with the Dropkick Murphy's
The siege at Jadotville brought me here!! I salute the Irish for their courage and bravery.
Best we all walk away - Brexit
I'm a regular drunk, so do I qualify as Irish?
different worlds. This Irish fuck was born in America and out Stars and Strips don't run.
2:23 there is fighting your brothers and there is fighting enemies with your brothers. Straighten the fuck up
.... Sweet black swan, in a pond of hate, do not fear them ...we will help each other along the way
Are you still feeling Superior you stupid self-important cunt
To all me rudeboys
Walk away Democrats. Join the proud and free american Republicans
I would always sing this song to my daughter as she was falling asleep when she was a baby. She's almost 11 now...& she still loves this song. Parenting Victory..;-)
Netflix movie brought me here, what a movie that is !!
Nice to be Irish favorite band with dropkick
Even though I was born in the US, I'm proud of my Irish heritage.

Epic! I also like Authority Zero. YouTube - Jonny Weiss "Back to Phoenix." Music Video. Leland F. Likes it Flogging Molly!
Everyone has their different musical tastes, but Flogging Molly was always the one thing my brother, our mother, and I could agree on. This particular song was Mom's ringtone, so it always reminds me of her when I hear it.
TIOCFAIDH AR LA
Do a song about the banshee
First heard this on Viva la Bam. Guessed it by the ditty at 0:56
