Belfast to Boston |
| There are rifles buried in the countryside for the rising of the moon |
| May they lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the ground |
| Who will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an end |
| Who will swallow long injustice, take the devil for a country man |
| Who will say «this far no further, oh lord, if I die today» |
| Send no weapons no more money. |
| send no vengeance across the seas |
| Missing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the ground |
| Could we but hear them could they not tell us |
| «time to lay god’s rifle down» |
| Who will say this far no further, oh lord, if I die today. |
