An Island of Green

An Island of Green                       May 12, 2019


An island of green attacked to kill
Living in peace with my thirty-two
They came to kill
An English thrill
Why did they come
Take away freedom
Kill our green, kill our people
Impose their laws, church, and steeple
Steel our country, kill our people
A green island in peace
The force came to kill
Irish destroyed by the force that came
Read the words of the "Patriot Game"
An Island of green without the Queen
They came and killed leaders
The people stand as one
The word is Irish, our country is one
Leave our land mother England
Your not welcome here, it's our land
An island of green attacked to kill
Living in peace with thirty-two
