LYRICS:
We are the sainted millions where the howling black birds fly
Hand in hand, we walk on through while the tracers pass us by
We are the tainted living on the piss stained old barstools
So raise a pint for those below who are singing beneath our shoes
Sleeping sainted millions can you tell me what you know?
Sing to me a song you wrote beneath your pile of stone.
The writings on the granite read so trite and insincere.
What do ya feel ya missed about the dash between the years?
Well I would have laughed with a maniacal cry
At some of the things that lead to being kept awake at night
The more you see the more you grow
From Montreal to Tokyo
So ride the highs and take the lows
I wouldn't trade it for another
And I would do it all again
I would treat it like a lover
Runaway and take it by the hand
Sleeping sainted millions can you tell me what you know
cut down by a bullet from the rifle of a foe
Stripped and stacked and piled and cleaned and lined up in a row
Packed upon a clipper ship and chucked into a hole
But it’s not the end that we need to revive
It’s your compatriots' remembrances that make you come alive
The more you see the more you grow
From Montreal to Tokyo
So ride the highs and take the lows
Sleeping sainted millions can you tell me what you know
Sing to me a song you wrote beneath your pile of stone
The questions never answered left a ringing in your ear
You walked around these haunted grounds a thousand times a year
The song in your head is a personified lie
There’s comfort in a bottle and there’s comfort in a sky
with all the time you’ll wash away
You’ll fall in line and joined the ranks
Of those who lived and died among their day

Whatsup everyone! I'm Mike, the new guy. I just want to say THANK YOU ALL FOR CHECKING THIS OUT! We worked our asses off on this album and video. This video is the first of many things to come and we're wicked stoked to be able to start sharing progress with you all!

[@killingdragons911]

Getting flabbergasted on just how incredible you all sound! Great to hear this, until you came I thought The Rumjacks won't do much more, but you can do just that!

[@BlackthornLeather]

Love it! I can’t wait to hear the new album! 🍻

[@mkel1979]

Welcome officially Mike - although seen plenty of you already through the socials! this is fucking wicked good! Long live the Rumjacks!!!

What a great Debut, Mike! I have seen the Band last year in Wiesbaden /Germany. Hell , what a show, although I was half dump for a few days. :-) We you'll be performing in Germany again, I'll be there!.

[@mkel1979]

Some songs, particularly first singles off a new album or new album with a new singer, you listen to and think “yeah not bad, another couple of listens and it’ll grow on me” and you end up loving it. Not this - It’s Saturday morning Sydney time, the song was released half an hour ago and within the first minute I’m bouncing around the room and singing along! Fucked wicked tune! Welcome back boys, welcome Mike, long live the Rumjacks!!

[@therumjacks]

Thanks Tom!!

[@jeremiahwhite4403]

Lovin the new vocals! It'll take a bit to adjust to the change, but I imagine it was quite the transition for everyone there, too. Excited to see the way the band is heading, and can't wait for more!

[@therumjacks]

Big transition, but we've managed to keep our roots strong! Can't wait to get the new stuff out there. If ya liked the early stuff, you'll like this stuff!

The song that is always able to drag me out of negativity, and the one that makes me happier than anything :D

[@jeauwyte5151]

This feels like old Dropkick Murphys, and that's not a bad thing.

[@jasonlewis3742]

My friends band was on a comp with Dropkick Murphy's. Back when their first lead singer was in the band. Before they signed to Hellcat. Black Hole Records I think it was.

[@j.knetsch3413]

Frankie will be for ever in my heart. Butt this song kicks ass, Rumjacks you guys are amazing!!!! cheersssss

[@adrian1997r]

The Rumjacks is one of my favourite bands, and was my inspiration for playing on the mandolin. I'm happy that band is still alive and have a new great vocalist. I'm waiting for new album, because I feel it will be amazing. Greetings from poland! Oi! ;)

[@leehill9005]

I started getting to irsh tunes about two year ago with dropkick Murphy's and I'll always listen to them now forever started listening to rumjacks not long ago and there totally awsome and new singer is doing a awesome job different from old singer but I love it I'm a dying bread but I feel like one of the sainted millions that's me to a tea love it and light in my shadow what can you say truly awesome.

[@victorialeckie7322]

I only found Rumjacks beginning of this yr. Kinda wish maybe id went few more months without them. Cz im struggling with the change. Thats not 2take anything away from new guy hes really good i just personally was drawn 2frankies vocals. Sorry. I do hope i can adjust coz theyre a brilliant band. Got me through past few months...maybe thats just it 2much emotional feelings tied in with old line up maybe. Really hoping I hear something that really grabs me from them unfortunately this 1isnt it sorry guys
