Don't hang your head, my long lost son
There's always a price for the things we've done
The battles are lost and the battles are won
We'll shed our tears in the morning

The sound of the cannons' roar echoes the past
And your memories are dressed in tears of black
And the ringing in your ears, I pray it won't last
We'll make it right in the morning

So keep your sprits high me boys
Keep your spirits high
Throw away the pain, all your misery and fear
Join in the revelry, the parade is here
For this day, there'll be no sorrows
We'll pay for our sins tomorrow

You cry in your sleep and your thoughts, they wail
And your soul will be free until you set sail
The ship's not left, so it's just as well
It won't be long til the morning

There's a time for the silence, and to look straight ahead
And pay our homage to the suffering and dead
But tonight til tomorrow, we'll be somewhere else instead
We'll make our penance in the morning

Throw away the pain, all your misery and fear
Join in the revelry, the parade is here
For this day there'll be no sorrows
We'll pay for our sins tomorrow

We'll pay for our sins tomorrow (HEY!)

No words you hear will ease the pain
But I must be reverent in the things that I say
There will always be some [bad word] to pay
We'll all stay up till the morning

So keep your spirits high me boys
Keep your spirits high
Throw away the pain, all your misery and fear
Join in the revelry, the parade is here
For this day, there'll be no sorrows
We'll pay for our sins tomorrow

Throw away the pain, all your misery and fear
Join in the revelry, the parade is here
For this day, there'll be no sorrows

We'll pay for our sins tomorrow
We'll pay for our sins tomorrow (HEY!)
