Verse-1 My father said it’s time to be a man But they don’t grow them tall in the motherland Verse-2 You were born with heart raised on pride Piss and vinegar runs through your bloodline Chorus Oh Oh – Whoa Oh Bloody, bruised and slain Oh Oh – Woah Oh Pride in this name Verse-3 Well the scars run deep within this brood False truths devised by foolish views Verse-4 Religious divide among the men Created civil war on my family land Chorus Oh Oh – Whoa Oh Bloody, bruised and slain Oh Oh – Woah Oh Pride in this name Bridge Well blood was shed on our family crest For moniker, pride and self respect A faded tale passed down from age A story to you but this is my name Chorus Oh Oh – Whoa Oh Bloody, bruised and slain Oh Oh – Woah Oh Pride in this name Chorus Oh Oh – Whoa Oh Bloody, bruised and slain Oh Oh – Woah Oh Pride in this name Pride in this name I said pride in this name

Ode To Mc Kennedy 04:50

V-1 There once was a pub owned by Pierce McKennedy Who carried the weight of the war on his back V-2 The pub it was bombed and killed his family So to America he fled and he never looked back V-3 He traveled on foot here safe from his enemies The Appalachian Trail he let be his guide V-4 Till one day he found a tavern named friendly So his journey he paused for a cold pint inside CHORUS-1 He raised his glass, he raised his voice Said my country’s divided and I don’t have a home So take up your whiskey in a toast my friend May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead V-5 It so happened that day his years numbered forty He lowered his head and remembered his past V-6 He touched the wounds that the bullets had left him Then he raised his eyes with a smile at last CHORUS-1 He raised his glass, he raised his voice Said my country’s divided and I don’t have a home So take up your whiskey in a toast my friend May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead V-7 To his dismay he euthanized his bottle All around saw despair in his eyes V-8 But they quickly resolved the plight of this fellow An unlikely crew, they echoed his cry CHORUS-2 They raised their glass, they raised their voice Said your country’s divided but you’ve found a new home So take up your whiskey in a toast my friend May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead CHORUS-1 He raised his glass He raised his voice Said my country’s divided and I don’t have a home So take up your whiskey in a toast my friend May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead May you make it to heaven before the Devil knows you’re dead

Rose Colored Laughter 05:17

Verse-1 Lately I've been thinking but still don't have much to say Maybe it was the drinking that pushed you away Verse-2 Maybe it was meant to happen Like there was nothing, that you or I could do Like some long lost ancient prophecy Or the cursed dumb luck of an Irish fool Pre-Chorus Please don't mistake my silence As implication that I don't want you around Chorus My apologies it seems you haven't caught me at my best I'm a touch of crazy, and a bit of a mess No man should be left alone inside of his own head With rose colored laughter and an empty whiskey glass Verse-3 Call it working man's blues or maybe dreamers despair That leads a man to the bottle To try to wash away, wash away all his fears Verse-4 Now I'm not looking for forgiveness But I'm starting to feel alright I find g a little bit of peace these days In this crazy, crazy head of mine Pre-Chorus Please don't mistake my silence As implication that I don't want you around Chorus My apologies it seems you haven't caught me at my best I'm a touch of crazy, and a bit of a mess No man should be left alone inside of his own head With rose colored laughter and an empty whiskey glass Chorus My apologies it seems you haven't caught me at my best I'm a touch of crazy, and a bit of a mess No man should be left alone inside of his own head With rose colored laughter and an empty whiskey glass With rose colored laughter and an empty whiskey glass

V-1 Belfast is silent, no one dares to speak About who runs this town it’s not the Garda chief V-2 Chancer's call the shots, they all want to be Boss Turf wars have started, Lord have mercy on us all Chorus So drink up your whiskey boys, no one's safe here at home The streets are raining blood Send a prayer up to the lord, no honor among thieves no more The streets are raining blood V-3 Another Bloody Sunday is all that was brought By the Good Friday Treaty that was signed but soon forgot V-4 The Brigadiers are falling one by one replaced by a new believer The Troubles still live on Chorus So drink up your whiskey boys, no one's safe here at home The streets are raining blood Send a prayer up to the lord, no honor among thieves no more The streets are raining blood Chorus So drink up your whiskey boys, no one's safe here at home The streets are raining blood Send a prayer up to the lord, no honor among thieves no more The streets are raining blood Chorus So drink up your whiskey boys, no one's safe here at home The streets are raining blood Send a prayer up to the lord, no honor among thieves no more The streets are raining blood

The Burden 05:14

Verse-1 We were born to live, we were born to die Nobody stays, nobody hides Verse-2 My oldest friend it seems it’s time for goodbye Is it selfish or greed to long for more time Chorus So fare thee well We’ve come to the end Your burden was heavy Go rest now my friend Verse-3 They say your heart was cold in your younger years But that’s not the man I know or why I shed this tear Verse-4 Cause you were there with me Down in Muscle Schoals When I sang my song to a court ruled by ghost Chorus- So fare thee well We’ve come to the end Your burden was heavy Go rest now my friend Chorus So fare thee well We’ve come to the end Your burden was heavy Go rest now my friend You’re going home Wherever that may be So fare thee well, my friend Go rest in peace So fare thee well, my friend Go rest in peace

Chorus- When I die, my Lord Send your son to get me Send your son to get me And take me back home When I die, my Lord Don’t send your falling Angel Don’t send that falling Angel He’s been pining for my soul Verse-1 Lay me down say a prayer for me The will is strong but the flesh has grown weak Verse-2 I’m done with this body give it to the earth I fear his wrath whose Kingdom will I serve Chorus- When I die, my Lord Send your son to get me Send your son to get me And take me back home When I die, my Lord Don’t send your falling Angel Don’t send that falling Angel He’s been pining for my soul Verse-3 I have no regrets no last words I’ve lived a good life much better than I deserve Verse-4 But every man has a secret, one he can not hide I pray for mercy Lord, when it’s time to testify Chorus- When I die, my Lord Send your son to get me Send your son to get me And take me back home When I die, my Lord Don’t send your falling Angel Don’t send that falling Angel He’s been pining for my soul Chorus- When I die, my Lord Send your son to get me Send your son to get me And take me back home When I die, my Lord Don’t send your falling Angel Don’t send that falling Angel He’s been pining for my soul Chorus- When I die, my Lord Send your son to get me Send your son to get me And take me back home When I die, my Lord Don’t send that falling Angel Don’t send your falling Angel He’s pining for my soul
