As I look out across the sea
I stand proud but am I free?
A thousand years have come and gone
I have won, I will go on
Stand firm against the storm
I cannot see it but it will come
And with the ghosts of a million Gaels
I will rise up, I will prevail
You can starve my children
You can k** my fighting man
Take away my right to freedom
And when my back is turned you k** again
You can burn my houses
Take away all that I have known
But the seeds are sown
When the Dane invaded
The held the Gael with a strangle-hold
Until Boru joined to clans
He won the war, re-claimed my lands
My green fields have been stained red
From the blood of the Irish dead
But with this fire that burns inside
I will always rebel, I will survive
You can starve my children
You can k** my fighting man
Take away my right to freedom
And when my back is turned you k** again
You can burn my houses
Take away all that I have known
But the seeds are sown!
