A Soldier's Wife - Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
The tribunes tongue and poets pen[00:00:06]
May sow the seed in prostrate men[00:00:09]
For it is the soldiers sword alone[00:00:13]
Can reap the crop so bravely sown[00:00:17]
No more i'll sing no more i'll pine[00:00:20]
But train my soul to lead a line[00:00:26]
A soliders life is the life for me[00:00:30]
A soldiers death and ireland free[00:00:33]
No foe with fury or thunder words[00:00:37]
If it were not for your lightening swords[00:00:41]
If tyrants yield where millions prey[00:00:44]
Tis less they will link in wars array[00:00:47]
Nor peace itself is safe but when[00:00:51]
The sword is yielded by fighting men[00:00:56]
A soldiers life is the life for me[00:01:00]
A soldiers death and ireland free[00:01:03]
The rifle brown and sabre bright[00:01:08]
Can freely speak and nobly write[00:01:11]
What prophet taught the creed so well[00:01:14]
As hoffer breen bruce and tell[00:01:17]
God guard the creed those heroes taught[00:01:21]
That blood bought freedom is cheaply bought[00:01:26]
A soldiers life is the life for me[00:01:30]
A soldiers death and ireland free[00:01:33]
Yet it is not strength and it is not steel[00:01:37]
Alone can make the english reel[00:01:41]
But wisdom working day by day[00:01:44]
Til comes the time for passions sway[00:01:48]
The patients din and power shot[00:01:52]
Can knock an empire like a rock[00:01:57]
A soldiers life is the life for me[00:02:01]
A soliders death and ireland free[00:02:03]
A soldiers life is the life for me[00:02:06]
A soldiers death and ireland free[00:02:08]
