Their Feelings They Did Not Hide
Their Feelings They Did Not Hide December 21, 2017
I slipped into a sleep one night with Irish heroes by my side
Martyrs all around me, their feelings they did not hide
Too many to mention, why did our heroes die
They proudly stood together with freedom in their eye
Young and old with a story to be told
Freedom for their country, green, white, and gold
They died loving Ireland in many different ways
No chance to say goodbye,We will have our day
Children of the Gael killed,just another Irish day
Another one killed, death's the price that we pay
Belfast, Derry, Cork, and many an Irish town
Death squads kill our people, heroes don't lie down
Irish children shot on Irish streets,Irish leaders shot at will
The solution for England was arrogance, just kill
The heroes around me, the men of ten that died
Kill Irish leaders was the way with the forces of the crown
Democracy no, invasion yes, Cromwell failed to put us down
Together with Roger Casement, I think my heroes cried
Tom Williams stood with Kevin Barry, they died a similar way
Killed for loving Ireland because they would not say
My trip with the angels and Irish heroes that died
I woke from my dream and knew that I'd cried
For my heroes in heaven and the martyrs that died
I slipped into a sleep one night with Irish heroes by my side
Martyrs all around me, their feelings they did not
