The Coffin Ships |
| Young hearts born with grief |
| Shall pay the penalty of truth |
| A season of stolen youth |
| Shall teach old hearts to break |
| It feels like I’ve been here before |
| Here to where the animals lay down to die |
| So we stood alone on a distant store |
| Our broken spirits in rags and tatters |
| Nerve and muscle, heart and brains |
| Lost to Ireland, lost in vain |
| Pause and you can almost hear |
| The sounds echo down through the ages |
| The creak of the burial cart |
| Here in humiliation and sorrow |
| Not mixed with indignation |
| One is driven to exclaim |
| Oh god, that bread should be so dear |
| And human flesh so cheap* |
| Young hearts are born with such grief |
| We have paid the penalty of truth |
| A season of our stolen youth |
| Shall teach our hearts to break |
