Flogging Molly - Light Of A Fading Star

And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, Is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Ah when will this war be over?
And the madness leave the air
This brick that's flown between us
And the pulling of the hair
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, Is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Volunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
The sick still feed the hungry
And the last battle song has cried
