Five Long Years
The Wicklow hills are silent the grip of winter chill The birds have left the valley the snow is thick and still A long way from the village and home we long to see My wife and child in my heart only God can see
Stevens' day has passed us the time has come and gone Say farewell to Christmas a New Year's desperate dawn A hunger in my heart for the peace that I once knew Before our march to freedom
Five long years against injustice we fought to hold this land The hunger and pain-hath stricken every man We'll never - we'll never bend a knee To a Red coat Englishman
Last night we dined on coddle soup a bowl of nettle tea Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We drank a toast to absent friends the ghosts that walk Glencree I dreamed that I was young again your beauty in my eyes The ocean serenades with song
With guns and their drums as the banners fly high The trumpets they sound and I look to the sky 'Tis here I'll surely die
The soldiers are much closer now these hills of Glenmalure What deed can fuel the hatred their hearts are so impure We know the end is near Michael would be proud Together we will sing the freemen's song Together we will sing the freemen's song
