Padriac Pearse - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

In Dublin town in nineteen sixteen[00:00:08]

A flame of freedom did arise [00:00:11]

A group of men with determination[00:00:15]

Caught an empire by surprise[00:00:18]

Through the streets our men were marching[00:00:23]

They rallied with their hopes and fears[00:00:26]

And the Enda boys came searching[00:00:29]

For their leader Padraig Pearse [00:00:32]

The poet and the Irish rebel[00:00:37]

A Gaelic scholar and a visionary[00:00:39]

We gave to him no fitting tribute[00:00:44]

When Ireland's at peace only that can be[00:00:47]

When Ireland a nation united and free [00:00:52]

On Easter morn he faced the nation[00:00:57]

From the steps of the G P O [00:00:59]

And read aloud the proclamation [00:01:04]

The seed of nationhood to sow [00:01:07]

But soon the word had spread to London of[00:01:12]

An insurrection there at hand[00:01:15]

And the deeds of Padraic Pearse[00:01:18]

Was set about to free his land [00:01:21]

The poet and the Irish rebel[00:01:25]

A Gaelic scholar and a visionary[00:01:28]

We gave to him no fitting tribute[00:01:33]

When Ireland's at peace only that can be[00:01:36]

When Ireland a nation united and free [00:01:40]

For five long days the battle rages [00:01:46]

For five long nights the battle wore[00:01:48]

We will watch as Dublin City blazes[00:01:53]

And see our men fall through the floor[00:01:56]

No Ireland's proud of her effort for her[00:02:01]

Cause we fought with pride[00:02:04]

But to save more life and to save our city [00:02:07]

We make our peace with McFainis cried [00:02:09]

The poet and the Irish rebel[00:02:14]

A Gaelic scholar and a visionary[00:02:17]

We gave to him no fitting tribute[00:02:22]

When Ireland's at peace only that can be[00:02:25]

When Ireland a nation united and free [00:02:29]

Kilmainham Jail in 1916 they brought young Pearse[00:02:37]

To his death cell and they tried him as[00:02:42]

A traitor to shoot this man who dared to rebel[00:02:47]

He only tried to free his country of[00:02:53]

The shackles of 800 years [00:02:56]

When dawn did break on that May morning[00:02:59]

They shot our Leader Padraic Pearse [00:03:02]

The poet and the Irish rebel[00:03:06]

A Gaelic scholar and a visionary[00:03:09]

We gave to him no fitting tribute[00:03:14]

When Ireland's at peace only that can be[00:03:17]

When Ireland a nation united and free[00:03:22]
