Far Away Coast Lyrics - Do Or Die - Dropkick Murphys

Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast 

For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased 

With a gas mask to keep me from breathing my death 

It's American soil I hope for at best 

But the duty I serve can't begin to compare 

To my ancestors battles and wars through the years 

Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell 

I pray for my home but still sit here in hell. 

[Chorus] 

Sail away to a place that's unknown 

Taken away from my friends and my home 

To a place they call sacred 

A place I call hell 

I long for that corner I once knew so well. 

Go to the grind it's all that I have 

Work on and on with nothing to show 

But a graying face in this dying place 

That's a lock in my solitude 

I think of a place on a faraway coast 

Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast 

A cloudy image of a Middle East land 

Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts. 

[Chorus] 

Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast 

For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased 

With a gas mask to keep me from breathing my death 

It's American soil I hope for at best 

But the duty I serve can't begin to compare 

To my ancestors battles and wars through the years 

Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell 

I pray for my home but still sit here in hell. 

[Chorus]
