The West's Awake - Celtic Thunder[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional/Séamus Brett/David Munro[00:00:01]

When all beside a vigil keep[00:00:05]

The west's asleep the west's asleep[00:00:11]

Alas and well may Erin Weep[00:00:16]

When Connacht lies in slumber deep[00:00:21]

There lake and plain smile fair and free[00:00:27]

'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry[00:00:32]

Sing oh let man learn liberty[00:00:37]

From crashing wind and lashing sea[00:00:42]

That chainless wave and lovely land[00:00:57]

Freedom and nationhood demand[00:01:02]

Be sure the great god never planned[00:01:07]

For slumbering slaves a home so grand[00:01:12]

And long a brave and haughty race[00:01:18]

Honored and sentinelled the place[00:01:23]

Sing oh not even their sons' disgrace[00:01:28]

Can quite destroy their glory's trace[00:01:33]

For often in O'Connor's van[00:01:47]

To triumph dashed each Connacht clan[00:01:52]

And fleet as deer the Normans ran[00:01:57]

Thro' corrsliabh pass and ardrahan[00:02:02]

And later times saw deeds as brave[00:02:07]

And glory guard's clanricarde's grave[00:02:13]

Sing oh they died their land to save[00:02:18]

At augh rim's slopes and Shannon's wave[00:02:25]

And if when all a vigil keep[00:02:39]

The west's asleep the west's asleep[00:02:44]

Alas and well may Erin Weep[00:02:50]

That Connacht lies in slumber deep[00:02:55]

But hark a voice like thunder spake[00:03:01]

The wests awake the wests awake[00:03:06]

Sing oh hurrah let England quake[00:03:12]

We'll watch till death for Erin's sake[00:03:17]
