Irish Graves June 11, 2017
Irish graves so different, read the names
No chance to live, no chance to make peace
Belfast, Derry, comrades in Cork
Some comrades escaped to die in free New York
Our national graves remember them all
Goodbye's denied, kill at will
Tom Williams taken, not forgotten, many years
Belfast was punished, those terrible years
No farewell goodbye, the noose or the gun
Sacred ground our rights were denied
Killed for freedom, Ireland cried
Cromwell came, couldn't finish it all
Children of freedom, resistance is strong
Irish graves so different, read the names
No chance to live, no chance to make peace
Gerrard McGeachy
