(Roll Of Honour)
[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 bastard, (Bastard! Bastard!), don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland has such sons.
[Verse]
In those dreary H-Block cages, ten brave young Irishmen lay,
Hungering for justice, their young lives ebbed away,
For their rights as Irish soldiers, and to free their native land,
And they stood beside their leader, (Who?), the gallant Bobby Sands.
Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreesh in Armagh's hills,
In those narrow streets of Derry, they miss O'Hara still,
They so proudly gave their young lives for 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 bastard, (Bastard! Bastard!), don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland has such sons.
[Verse]
Through war torn streets of Ulster, those black flags did sadly wave,
To salute ten Irish martyrs, the bravest of the brave,
Joe McDonnell and Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty,
And 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."
(A Nation Once Again)
[Chorus]
A nation once again, (Up the RA!), a nation once again, (Up the RA!)
And the IRA will make our land a nation once again.
[Chorus]
A nation once again, (Up the RA!), a nation once again, (Up the RA!)
And the IRA will make our land a nation once again.
(Roll Of Honour)
[Chorus]
We'll read the Roll of Honour for Ireland's bravest men,
We must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a bastard, (Bastard! Bastard!), don't think that you have won,
We will never be defeated, while Ireland has such sons.
