Fair Ireland - ปีเตอร์ คอร์ป ไดเรนดัล (Peter)[00:00:00]

They build bombs and aim their pistols[00:00:00]

In the shadow of the cross[00:00:05]

And they swear an oath of vengeance[00:00:09]

To the martyrs they have lost[00:00:13]

But they pray for peace on Sundays[00:00:19]

With a rosary in each hand[00:00:22]

It's long memories and short tempers[00:00:27]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:00:34]

It's long memories and short tempers[00:00:38]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:00:44]

We have cousins on the old sod[00:00:55]

And we don't forget our kin[00:00:59]

From Boston we send more guns[00:01:03]

And we tell them they can win[00:01:07]

Then we turn back to our green beer[00:01:12]

And to MacNamaras Band[00:01:16]

It's true friends with false perceptions[00:01:21]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:01:26]

True friends with false perceptions[00:01:30]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:01:34]

They weave tales of wit and magic[00:01:42]

And their songs are strong and free[00:01:46]

But they fail to hear each other[00:01:50]

Prisoners of history[00:01:54]

Orange flags wave for the British[00:02:03]

To greet the armys clicking heel[00:02:07]

And Irish curse their Irish brother[00:02:10]

For the altar where they kneel[00:02:15]

And now provoked to greater anger[00:02:19]

By the distant royal hand[00:02:23]

It's old hatreds and young victims[00:02:29]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:02:33]

Old hatreds and young victims[00:02:37]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:02:41]

So we're left with retribution[00:02:48]

It's the cycle of the damned[00:02:51]

And the hope becomes more distant[00:02:58]

As the flames of hate are fanned[00:03:02]

Who will listen to the children[00:03:08]

For they're taught to take their stand[00:03:12]

They say love and true forgiveness can still heal fair Ireland[00:03:18]

They say love and true forgiveness can still heal fair Ireland[00:03:26]

Only love and real forgiveness can still heal fair Ireland[00:03:35]
