Flogging Molly - A Song of Liberty lyrics

Danny's in the corner and
He's waiting all alone
While sleeping in with fiends and fields
He hasn't got a hope
But over on the north side
It's all about to hit
No one realizes what's about to happen here

Mary's in familiar ways, about to drop a kid
Along with sippin' gravy from
An empty biscuit tin
The brotherhood are gathered, they're appear
The citizens divided
All they want is to be heard

But there was Clarke, James Connolly
Plunkett and Pearse
Ceannt, MacDonagh, Diarmada had no fear
Volunteers together
Insurrection they believed
Could be the only answer, oh
To hear our nation sing

This is a song of liberty
Yeah, together rise in unity
One man falls, united we shall be
This is a song of liberty

The casualties were mountin' out
Inside the GPO
There was nothing left but rubble with
The burning and the smoke
Kilmainham may be waiting
Their fate against the wall
Execute their empty body
All you did was free our souls

This is a song of liberty
Yeah, together rise in unity
One man falls, united we shall be
This is a song of liberty

A song of liberty a song of liberty
A song of liberty this is a song of liberty
Liberty

So the next time you drink a
Porter from your comfy armchair
Don't forget the men and women
'twas their blood for you they shed
Remember poor old Danny and
Mary with her brood
Don't take their life for granted
It was all they ever knew

But there was Clarke, James Connolly
Plunkett and Pearse
Ceannt, MacDonagh, Diarmada had no fear
Volunteers together, surrender they believed
Could be the only answer, oh
To hear our nation sing

This is a song of liberty
Yeah, together rise in unity
One man falls, united we shall be, yeah

This is a song of liberty
Yeah, together rise in unity
One man falls, united we shall be
This is a song of liberty

Liberty liberty liberty

By it's valor and discipline
And by the readiness of it's children
To sacrifice themselves for the common good
