kingdom of the lost

come here and listen to me boys

for the story that i tell

how i crossed the sea from erin's shore

a man condemned to sail

to a land of milk and honey

and whiskey by the pail

they promised me a future there

a life that would not fail

for it's a rocky road you travel

trying to walk a righteous path

i left my love back there

with our baby on her lap

i'm putting down my sword now

i'm hanging up my gun

i haven't got the will to fight

this battle lost or won

this home is not our home from home

this land is not for free

no matter where i work or roam

won't bring my country back to me

in the kingdom of the lost

the bullets keep on coming

and the rain it never ends

i don't know who i'm killing now

my enemies or friends

i'll drink away the darkness

till the dawn comes around

you can take me if you want to

carry on

my guard is down

this home is not our home from home

this land is not for free

no matter where i work or roam

won't bring my country back to me

in the kingdom of the lost

come here and listen to me boys

for the story that i tell

how i crossed the sea from erin's shore

a man condemned to sail

to a land of milk and honey

and whiskey by the pail

they promised me a future there

a life that would not fail

this home is not our home from home

this land is not for free

no matter where i work or roam

won't bring my country back to me

i'm a rebel without a cause

this home is not our home from home

this land is not for free

no matter where i work or roam

won't bring my country back to me

in the kingdom of the lost
