Lyrics Black Star Riders – 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
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
