Green and Troubled Land

Soldier of the ceasefire
 Messiah in this place
 Playboy of the western world
 Scars carved into my face
 Hero of the emerald sea
 King of salt and sand
 I'm through with two faced charlatans
 Savaging this land
 What doesn't make you stronger
 Will kill you in the end
 You can shake a thousand blood red hands
 Yet never know a friend
 The answers in the bloodstream
 In the way you play the hand
 In the way the same hand plays you
 In this green and troubled land
 Cast out above the eagles nest
 On a well defended hill
 High on power and glory
 I'm coming for you still
 Back down through all the centuries
 For you haven't learned a thing
 Now I'm breaking out to haunt the night
 A living hell to bring
 What doesn't make you stronger
 Will kill you in the end
 You can shake a thousand blood red hands
 Yet never know a friend
 The answers in the bloodstream
 In the way you play the hand
 In the way the same hand plays you
 In this green and troubled land
 Faugh a ballagh
 Through the battlefields of Tara
 Faugh a ballagh
 To fight you hand to hand
 Faugh a ballagh
 To take back grace and virtue
 In this green and troubled land
 What doesn't make you stronger
 Will kill you in the end
 You can shake a thousand blood red hands
 Yet never know a friend
 The answers in the bloodstream
 In the way you play the hand
 In the way the same hand plays you
 In this green and troubled land
 In the way the same hand plays you
 In this green and troubled land
 Faugh a ballagh
 Faugh a ballagh
