Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys are an American punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1996. The band was initially signed to independent punk record label Hellcat Records, releasing five albums for the label, and making a name for themselves locally through constant touring and yearly St. Patrick's Day week shows, held in and around Boston. The 2004 single "Tessie" became the band's first and one of their biggest charting singles to date. The band's final Hellcat release, 2005's The Warrior's Code, included "I'm Shipping Up to Boston", which was featured in the Academy Award-winning movie The Departed and went on to become one of the band's biggest singles, one of their best-known songs, and an anthem for Boston sports teams. more »

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]
