I walk with the angels beneath my sky
The people that came said I must die
Eighteen years from birth to death
Killed for freedom, goodbye mother earth
I want to live but have to go
The hangman's noose is never slow
Unfinished business left to do
Freedom for my country, me and you
My dreams as a boy to free my land
My dreams as a boy for Ireland
Our heroes and our land taken before
Our people have suffered and ready for more
I heard the stories of the famine blight
They took our land, they came with their might
Death and destruction, burning our town
How could this happen, we'll never lie down
At my early years, I joined the fight
Remember my heroes, the fabrication of blight
They tortured my body, I denied them my cry
I joined the cause, that's why I die
I walk with the angels beneath my sky
The people that came said I must die
