[Verse]
Hazy dreams surround my mind while I'm asleep,
They haunt me time and time again,
Of one lonely man, he stands upon a hill,
He's gazing down into the glen.

His orders say he must retreat into the night,
His men stand cold, awaiting word,
He turns to face them, hands outstretched toward the sky,
And this is plainly what was heard.

[Chorus]
For holy ground takes pride of place,
And keep this land we must,
Oh, history shall prove us right,
You'll sort and pledge God's trust,
Pledge God's trust.

[Verse]
It's getting late and the time is now at hand,
The sun is rising in the hill,
Smother thе fire and saddle up, it's time to go,
Today wе gather at the mill.

[Chorus]
Cause holy ground takes pride of place,
And keep this land we must,
Oh, history shall prove us right,
You'll sort and pledge God's trust,
Pledge God's trust.

[Verse]
The sky was dark as we marched along the track,
Gerry went on to look around,
But when he returned there was a scarf upon his face,
He said, "We've have to stand our ground."

[Chorus]
Cause holy ground takes pride of place,
And keep this land we must,
Oh, history shall prove us right,
Ye'll sort and pledge God's trust,
Pledge God's trust.

[Verse]
Over the hill came an army with their guns,
The sight was never seen before,
Upon their shields lay a priest man's cry from death
The pits of hell a fiendish roar.

[Chorus]
Cause holy ground takes pride of place,
And keep this land we must,
Oh, history shall prove us right,
You'll sort and pledge God's trust,
Pledge God's trust.

[Verse]
Man for man, blow for blow, we fought it out,
Still today it carries on,
The fight for Ireland is a bloody sight to see,
We'll break our backs to break this bond.

[Chorus]
Cause holy ground takes pride of place,
And keep this land we must,
Oh, history shall prove us right,
You'll sort and pledge God's trust,
Pledge God's trust.

[Chorus]
For holy ground takes pride of place,
And keep this land we must,
Oh, history shall prove us right,
You'll sort and pledge God's trust,
Pledge God's trust.
