Dropkick Murphys - Surrender Lyrics






I was at my weakest state
And you kept me pushing on
You gave me something to believe in
And it keeps me standing strong
These lessons that I've learned
These things I'll carry on
And when you're gone I'll honor you
Each day, however long

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond
In the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty

Like an apple from the tree
you were lock jawed in your ways
A reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
Thought you'd stayed off my path
But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins
Is the same that runs through me

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond
In the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty

I had it all but lost my faith
And then you lead me to it
Today I'll carry on
I had it all but lost my faith
And now I've renewed it
These things I'll carry on

    @ lel campbell actually buddy we have every right to shit on you. you guys arent even Irish so you have no right to listen to our bands coward! A true Irishmen is a catholic and not a bi*ch of Britain. You even refuse to help the IRA free you! That land is ours not yours! Ireland is our Island and we don't want protestants on it. You mass murdered us. GTFO our island and never listen to murphy's again. you are a disgrace! come back when you're a catholic!

    K.... M....

    @Kevin McLester its real funny to me that someone made a no true Scotsmen fallacy by saying someone is not a true Irishmen

    K.... M....

    People listen to a song and then have to prove how Irish they are. Are Irish man would'int have to prove anything to anybody. All we need is good liquor and if someone has a problem with you. Handle it like any man. Knock the other guys teeth out. Mugs up and enjoy the music!

  52. M.... R....

    I was born in America into a Irish Heritage Family. I for one, do my best to stay out of the American Heritage, for various reasons, but nonetheless my answer. And my answer is an Irish proverb:
    "An áit a bhuil do chroí is ann a thabharfas do chosa thú."

    (Your feet will bring you to where your heart is.)

  53. M.... ....

    Dio benedica l'Irlanda!

  54. U.... ....

    Es Dios. Nah, mentira, odio el fútbol.

    Dropkick Murphys are celtic punk dude. Sure, this song doesn't have pipes, flute, or banjo, but the band is my favourite Celtic band along with Flogging Molly.

    Green Day is done for imo. It used to be good pop punk, now it's pop rock sellout. :/

  64. M.... ....

    Woohoho I'l paint your house for ya, but watch out might steal the ladder haha

  65. k.... c....

    love this fucking band!!!

  66. Q.... G....

    Every time I think about stupid, I think youtube, can't help it either.

  67. M.... ....

    Sein fein

  68. P.... ....

    So are u Irish...?

  69. C.... G....

    YEAH :D

  70. M.... H....

    Sounds like a mix of green day, the cranberries, and foo fighters

  71. T.... S....

    Well...you say that

  72. S.... ....

    Keep quiet there mate, Na only joking that's your opinion

  73. S.... B....

    Ooh shag me, this is a good song. I've been climbing the mountain of the Dropkick Murphys' music and I think I've just found the view from the summit.

    S.... B....

    Steph B I personally like "Johnny, I hardly knew ya" the most. Always gives me goosebumps

  74. s.... ....

    human in blood, and dont believe in crap like souls

  75. d.... ....

    SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN A FUCKING COOKIE!!!!!
    Oh, Were out...

  76. n.... ....

    beautiful, man.. really beautiful..

  77. s.... ....

    You aren't a true Irish, we would never use f**k that many times in a comment

  78. K.... T....

    Just found these guys, fecking AWESOME!

  79. E.... T....

    Nah that's justified, there's plenty of them over here. You either love them or hate them really.

  80. G.... ....

    Anybody hear about the new COD?

  81. S.... ....

    do you need something? or are you just doing this to entertain yourself. are you just another one of those people who wants to be a "troll"? those annoying bugs who can't grow up and still act like little brats? i'm hoping your not, and if you are i'm hoping you learn to grow up. i'll admit, i was pissed, but that's just because i made a general comment on an interest of mine and you go and insult it. that's shitty, you have to admit.

  82. S.... ....

    that phrase is over used, and i don't exactly enjoy your blunt ignorance

  83. S.... ....

    it's not about being "obsessed with being irish". it's called fcking cultural acceptance. i like fucking irish culture, is that a problem? you have a fucking problem with me observing other godamn cultures? is that so fucking wrong of me that i have a motherfucking interest in something? that i don't have to be so fucking close minded, is that an issue to you? you have a problem with my godamn interests?

  84. S.... ....

    it's not pretending like we're posers or some shit, we just like the fcking dropkick murphys. that a problem?

  85. Y.... W....

    monty python. fuck yea.

  86. S.... ....

    not really.

  87. 4.... ....

    I think more than I'm supposed to be drunk

  88. 4.... ....

    Would that be Boston in County Clare?

  89. M.... ....

    Its Both

  90. b.... ....

    My second generation Irish-American Grandmother (devout Catholic) was married for 65 years to my Grandfather (English descended Protestant) back in the days when "it just wasn't done". I grew up in their home. Never heard a cross word between them..ever..they were the romance of the century. Both now in Heaven, I'm sure. Just goes to show..with love..and good hearts..ALL things are possible. BTW: Nana would have LOVED this band!!!! (Pa would have probably just turned down his hearing aid!! LOL)

  91. d.... c....

    i'm not ashamed to say that i discovered this awesome band because of nitro circus

  92. H.... M....

    @cornershot94, they came from southie, its even in the artist bio for the video, nothing good ever comes from quincy lol just a whole lotta trash that thinks they're tough. xD

  93. G.... ....

    Spain is broke as fuck though, however: so is Ireland :P

  94. p.... ....

    hahahahahah NO. Just the same drinks at lower prices.

  95. J.... B....

    Spain maybe sell only disgusting beer and whisky ? :D

  96. C.... B....

    Sir, you have just made my day.

  97. W.... ....

    this is my favourite DM song....sooooo underrated!
