Rising





The non locals hide their tears of regret

They hear us coming and we never forget

Why come here for them it's too late


The slibhin in office wants us all gone 

Line their pockets leaving misery behind

Corruption of children by childless men

No one to answer to it's just their game


Time to rebel like our martyrs of old

Our blood rising we can't take any more

When looking back when it's all done 

Will you be proud of the side you were on
