damien coughlan - 1921 كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
the waters gently ripple as they push against the shore
over shadowed by a fortress holding prisoners of war
its cold grey walls of cruelty echo ghostly cries of pain
of the destitute deported, tortured by the crown
the smokey autumn winds still blow the embers of cork city
and on it dance the brave souls of mccurtain and mcswiney
while the ambush sites lay silent with lloyd george against the wall
each volunteer beside me is longing to go home

[chorus]
here’s to the men of easter week in the year 1916
fling out the folds of freedom, the orange, white and green
here’s to the men who fighting fell and here’s to the men who died
in daylight pale or in cork jail, with their martyrs’ pride and smile
and ireland free shall surely be, in memory ever green
for those who fought for freedom in the year 1916

[verse 2]
i sit in my cell on spike island, it’s 1921
i hope to god i’ll hear no more the echos of a gun
or a pleading cry for mercy by a mother for her son
who gave his life for freedom in the hope this war is won
take me to rathcormac, far from this prison shore
let me be free with my family and i’ll speak of you no more
load up your crossley tenders with your horrid black and tans
and take your butcher’s apr_n, you’re not welcome in our land
[chorus]
here’s to the men of easter week in the year 1916
fling out the folds of freedom, the orange, white and green
here’s to the men who fighting fell and here’s to the men who died
in daylight pale or in cork jail, with their martyrs’ pride and smile
and ireland free shall surely be, in memory ever green
for those who fought for freedom in the year 1916

yes ireland free shall surely be, in memory ever green
for those who fought for freedom in the year 1916
