Amadan - The Republic lyrics

with the message in hand willie nodded to the band of rebels holding camp in the south ill deliver this message to our soldiers on the border of Dublin near the county of Louth willie had a mission to prevent the extradition of the rebels exhausted from the day they had carried themselves cross the cobbles in the rain to take shelter in the neighboring hay being hit from the north by the british marching forth rebels questioned holding out for their cause but the fire of grenades by the Black and Tan brigades afforded no time to take pause well they fled through Meath where their fears would unsheath what many had already known there were british in the city where Parnell gave no pity to the country that they vowed to disown well they fled through the side of the GPO's hide where they sought to gain position on the brits but with mortars taking down every building in the town they were sure to be blown to bits willie saw what had gone wrong and was trying to be strong as he made his way through the violence he knew they would be dead if the message wasnt read to the men who merely wanted silence when willie arrived to the battle-hardened hive of the rebels hanging onto their soul he presented then the purpose for his travels were not worthless as he read them the order to console we cannot fall from freedom cause we know that we can beat'em if we gain the local courage of the men but if no man shows therell be blood on our clothes as we fight until the british rule ends while their flag hung high in the red and orange sky the green and gold did bring tears well the flames on the post gave rise to the roast that would symbolize to revolt throught the years while the british did destroy yet another Irish ploy to gain freedom from their northern masters the idea of the republic rang proudly throught the public we'll always fight those english ba*tards
