The Elders Celtic

Ever Be a Nation

All of us on good behavior we met down at the bridge
That Sunday on O'Connell Street we listened to the pitch
Another lockout comin' they'll surely break us here
No help from a citizen army or Irish Volunteer
The troops came in to seize us taunted by the crowd
They retreated back to safety the rabble stood their ground
They opened fire and killed a few while back behind closed doors
In London town they sold us out to soldier on no more

Will there ever be a nation soil sky and stone
With one human soul and a voice to call our own
Will we ever be free mountains to the sea
Always be forever an Irish home

The executions followed at a prison camp in Wales

They put to death the sixteenth man in a soggy London jail
Conscription by Westminster united every tribe
Together we could raise hell now from every side
Bolder then in spirit we moved through every town
Hidin' from the Black and Tans they brought to put us down
How long will we run from this thing we have begun
To be more than just a fist and a crowd

A hundred bad years later and the struggle still goes on
A hundred bloody Sundays and their funerals come and gone
No victors only victims and survivors left to mourn
Our children need to know this Island is their home
