The Long Road Home
The Long Road Home December 11. 2016
The long road home
Many died alone
Others died with comrades
If only we had known
They came and killed
Took our land and more
No Irish will be spoken
Homes destroyed and burned
Religion banned, God overturned
The children of the gael
The force was set to fail
Irish blood on an Irish street
Cromwell came to face defeat
From every street in Ireland
The spirit of freedom in our land
The children of the gael
Resistance will prevail
Self determination
In this Irish nation
The long road home
Many died alone
Gerrard McGeachy
The long road home
Many died alone

If only we had known
They came and killed
Took our land and more
No Irish will be spoken
Homes destroyed and burned
Religion banned, God overturned
The children of the gael
The force was set to fail
Irish blood on an Irish street
Cromwell came to face defeat
From every street in Ireland
The spirit of freedom in our land
The children of the gael
Resistance will prevail
Self determination
In this Irish nation
The long road home
Many died alone
