A Song Of Liberty

[00:11.54] Danny's in the corner, and he's reading all alone
[00:14.25] Wants nothing more than freedom, feels he hasn't got a hope
[00:17.38] But over on the North side, it's all about to hit
[00:20.07] No one realizes what's about to happen here
[00:24.71]
[00:28.45] Mary's in familiar ways about to drop a kid
[00:31.28] Her old man's sipping gravy from an empty biscuit tin
[00:34.28] The brotherhood are gathered, they're fated to appear
[00:37.19] The citizens divided, all they want is to be heard
[00:40.73] But there was Clarke, James Connolly, Plunkett and Pearse
[00:44.23] Ceannt, MacDonagh, Diarmada had no fear
[00:47.18] Volunteers together, insurrection they believed
[00:50.16] Could be the only answer, oh, to hear our nation sing
[00:54.92] This is a song of liberty
[00:57.97] Yeah, together rise in unity
[01:01.02] One man falls, united we shall be
[01:05.56] This is a song of liberty
[01:09.90]
[01:13.50] The casualties were mounting out inside the GPO
[01:16.17] There was nothing left but rubble with the burning and the smoke
[01:19.34] Kilmainham may be waiting, their fate against the wall
[01:22.36] Execute their empty body, all you did was free our souls
[01:25.76] This is a song of liberty
[01:28.71] Yeah, together rise in unity
[01:32.19] One man falls, united we shall be
[01:36.53] This is a song of liberty
[01:39.62] A song of liberty
[01:42.37] A song of liberty
[01:45.52] A song of liberty
[01:48.23] This is a song of liberty
[01:53.54] Liberty
[01:57.19]
[02:05.83] So the next time you drink a porter from your comfy armchair
[02:09.69] Don't forget the men and women, 'twas their blood for you, they shed
[02:13.29] Remember poor old Danny and Mary with her brood
[02:17.19] Don't take their life for granted, it was all they ever knew
[02:22.86] But there was Clarke, James Connolly, Plunkett and Pearse
[02:25.66] Ceannt, MacDonagh, Diarmada had no fear
[02:28.74] Volunteers together, surrender they believed
[02:31.84] Could be the only answer, oh, to hear our nation sing
[02:36.24] This is a song of liberty
[02:39.62] Yeah, together rise in unity
[02:42.98] One man falls, united we shall be, yeah
[02:48.68] This is a song of liberty
[02:51.60] Yeah, together rise in unity
[02:54.74] One man falls, united we shall be
[02:59.20] This is a song of liberty
[03:03.37] Liberty
[03:06.36] Liberty
[03:09.47] Liberty
[03:12.67]
[03:27.37] By its valor and discipline and by the readiness of its children
[03:31.43] To sacrifice themselves for the common good
[03:34.10]
