The West Awake - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

When all besides a vigil keep [00:00:17]

The West's asleep the West's asleep[00:00:24]

Alas and well may Erin weep[00:00:31]

When Connacht lies in slumber deep [00:00:38]

There lakes and plains smile fair and free [00:00:46]

'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry [00:00:52]

Sing Oh let man learn liberty[00:01:00]

From crashing wind and lashing sea [00:01:07]

That chainless wave and lovely land[00:01:17]

Freedom and nationhood demand[00:01:24]

Be sure the great God never planned[00:01:31]

For slumbering slaves a home so grand [00:01:38]

And long a brave and haughty race[00:01:46]

Honoured and sentinelled the place [00:01:53]

Sing Oh not even their sons' disgrace[00:02:00]

Quite destroy their glory's trace [00:02:07]

For often in O'Connor's van [00:02:17]

To triumph dashed each Connacht clan [00:02:24]

And fleet as deer the Normans ran[00:02:31]

Thro' Corrsliabh Pass and Ardrahan[00:02:38]

And later times saw deeds as brave [00:02:45]

And glory guards Clanricarde's grave [00:02:52]

Sing Oh they died their land to save[00:03:00]

At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave [00:03:07]

And if when all a vigil keep [00:03:18]

The West's asleep the West's asleep [00:03:24]

Alas and well may Erin weep[00:03:31]

That Connacht lies in slumber deep [00:03:38]

But hark a voice like thunder spake [00:03:45]

The West's awake the West's awake [00:03:52]

Sing Oh hurrah let England quake [00:03:59]

We'll watch till death for Erin's sake[00:04:07]
