Black Star Riders – Kingdom Of The Lost lyrics

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
[x2]
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 (I'm a patriot without a heart)
No matter where I work or roam
Won't bring my country back to me
In the kingdom of the lost
In the kingdom of the lost
