Heroes From Our Past |
And so the story’s told of a hearty group of men |
It’s a tale of their triumphs and their woes |
Be it raids the melee’s aincent or the modern workers struggle |
And inspires men to stand up for their rights |
And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world |
We can look back to these heroes of our past |
With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will |
No tyranny would quell them in their task |
It’s an age old situation with an ever present message |
That time and tide waiteth for no man |
So with out fear of confrontation and the consequence of outcome |
It’s for freedom and for happiness they toiled |
And in looking to the future we can see a better place |
Where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all |
It’s been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest |
It’s just remembrance of their dignity we ask |
(chorus) so come on rally 'round this brave and valiant cause |
With tradition pride and honor at it’s core |
With swords drawn to defend stood these noblehearted men |
Faugh-an-ballagh clear the way me boys |
Under perilous conditions with small hope of success |
They left behind the lives that they once led |
And by virtue of their fortitude and singleminded strength |
They cleared the way for the people of today |
So when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark |
And thank the men whose struggle broke the chain |
It’s a long road up ahead of us let’s forge on while we’re strong |
And leave our mark of honor once again |
(chorus) so come on rally 'round this brave and valiant cause |
With tradition pride and honor at it’s core |
With swords drawn to defend stood these noblehearted men |
Faugh-an-ballagh clear the way me boys |
And so the story’s told and it comes now to an end |
It’s setting any era any land |
When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small |
It inspires men to stand up for their rights |
