Flogging Molly - To Youth Lyrics
Tell me why must a man be of serviceTo his lord and the god seldom highFrom the grave spring the name of our fathersBut there's no glint in a dead man's eyeTell me why are our fields filled with hungerAnd ??? the crop bitter soilSo I say my farewell to a nationAs the leaf waves goodbye to it's sonSo it's to youth I sing you this storyAnd it's of youth I sing it nowLike the train that derails without warningI must leave what I left far behindSo goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh, I say goodbyeTell me why must our peace be this puzzleThat fractures the land, splinters warThe last nails cite the shame in our coffinBut in the end we must all die aloneSo it's to youth I sing you this storyAnd it's of youth I sing it nowLike the train that derails without warningSome must leave what they left far behindSo goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh, I say goodbyeAnd the bark fell from treeTo the ground that they'll bleedOn the anguish that never learned to shoutWith the clash of the drumWe'll surrender the gunand on this sadness we shall no longer speakUntil time can ???????? are all forgotten songsThat's when I and we will sing againSo goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin DubhGoodbye now until we meet againTell me why must our grief still be greivingFor a language that never spoke it's lossBut this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wireRip the belly from the waxy ghostSo it's to youth I sing you this storyAnd it's of youth I sing it nowLike the train that derails without warningWe must leave what we left far behindSo it's to youth I sing you this storyAnd it's of youth I sing it nowLike the train that derails without warningWe must leave what we left far behindSo goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh, I say goodbyeSo goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh, I say goodbyeUntil we meet againUntil we meet againUntil we meet again, she arrives to beautifyBut slumber now must restOh my Roisin DubhI'll forever loveThe youth you once possessed
