Dropkick Murphys - Heroes from Our Past lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - Heroes from Our Past lyrics]
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 and melees ancient
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
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
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
A hearty group of men
It's a tale of their triumphs and their woes
Be it raids and melees ancient
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
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

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
With tradition pride and honor at it's core

And so the story's told and it
Comes now to an end

When abusive tyrants force the hands
