Roll Of Honour - Spirit Of Freedom

[Chorus]
Read the Roll of Honour for Ireland's bravest men,
We must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a monster, don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland's had such sons.

[Verse]
In those dreary H-Block cages, ten brave young Irishmen lay,
Hungering for justice, the young lives ebbed away,
For their rights as Irish soldiers, to free their native land,
They stood beside their leader, the gallant Bobby Sands.

Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreesh in Armagh's hills,
Those narrow streets of Derry, they miss O'Hara still,
They so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia's hold,
All their names we shall remember as history unfolds.

[Chorus]
So read the Roll of Honour for Ireland's bravest men,
We must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a monster, don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland's had such sons.

[Verse]
Through war torn streets of Ulster, the black flags did sadly wave,
To salute ten Irish martyrs, the bravest of the brave,
Joe McDonnell and Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty,
For they gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee.

Michael Devine from Derry, you were the last to die,
With your nine brave companions, our martyred dead you lie,
And your souls cry out, "Remember, our deaths are not in vain,
Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again."

[Chorus]
So read the Roll of Honour for Ireland's bravest men,
We must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a monster, don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland's had such sons.

[Chorus]
So read the Roll of Honour for Ireland's bravest men,
We must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a monster, don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland's had such sons.
