Song language: English
The West's Awake |
| And if, when all a vigil keep |
| The West’s asleep! |
| the West’s asleep! |
| Alas! |
| and well may Erin weep |
| That Connacht lies in slumber deep |
| But, hark! |
| a voice like thunder spake |
| The West’s awake! |
| the West’s awake! |
| Sing, Oh! |
| Hurrah! |
| let England quake |
| We’ll watch till death for Erin’s sake |
| (Instrummental) |
| (A Nation Once Again) |
| When boyhood’s fire was in my blood |
| I read of ancient freemen, |
| For Greece and Rome who bravely stood, |
| Three hundred men and three men; |
| And then I prayed I yet might see |
| Our fetters rent in twain, |
| And Ireland, long a province, be. |
| A Nation once again! |
| Chorus: |
| A Nation once again, |
| A Nation once again, |
| And lreland, long a province, be A Nation once again! |
| A Nation once again, |
| A Nation once again, |
| And lreland, long a province, be A Nation once again! |
