Wolfe Tone - Cruachan[00:00:01]

Born in occupied Dublin town [00:00:35]

As the sun shone down on tyranny [00:00:36]

Wolfe Tone grew up a privileged man [00:00:38]

Receiving a Trinity college degree [00:00:39]

He despaired for his fellow[00:00:41]

Countrymen under the rule of the British crown [00:00:42]

When they rose up to claim their land [00:00:45]

The British always beat them down [00:00:47]

The society of (united) Irishmen[00:00:55]

He founded in 1791 [00:00:57]

They called for freedom from the crown [00:00:59]

They wanted justice to be done [00:01:00]

Outlawed they were for their noble views [00:01:02]

Wolfe Tone was exiled from his land [00:01:04]

All talk of freedom and liberty was[00:01:05]

Forbidden and completely banned [00:01:07]

He fought the fight he knew was right [00:01:09]

For liberty he would give his life [00:01:11]

His cause was just his reasons fair:[00:01:12]

To free poor Eireann from despair [00:01:14]

In Paris he got the support he craved:[00:01:36]

Troops and supplies to aid his fight [00:01:38]

The French would help the Irish cause;[00:01:40]

The flame of hope was burning bright [00:01:41]

But not for long I’m sad to say [00:01:43]

The British knew both where and when [00:01:45]

Their spies had told them all and more;[00:01:47]

This rebellion failed again [00:01:48]

Peasants armed with farming tools [00:01:57]

Filled with honour strength and pride [00:01:59]

Faced the might of British steel [00:02:00]

Thirty thousand Irish died [00:02:02]

Wolfe Tone was captured He cut his throat;[00:02:04]

He used his own kitchen knife [00:02:05]

“After such heroic a sacrifice [00:02:07]

It is no great effort to add my life ”[00:02:09]

He fought the fight he knew was right [00:02:11]

For liberty he would give his life [00:02:12]

His cause was just his reasons fair:[00:02:14]

To free poor Eireann from despair[00:02:16]
