[Verse]
He was born in Belfast in Andersonstown,
Brought up without fear or respect for the Crown,
His heroes were rebels, with their life in pain,
And soon he was part of the Belfast Brigade.
[Chorus]
God keep you Kieran, we pray every night,
And bless all the young men who keep on the fight,
When England is banished, united we'll be,
Your name, we'll remember when Ireland is free.
[Verse]
The priest gave elections for the people's first choice,
Ah, but the cold hearted Thatcher would not heed their voice,
Those lackeys in Dublin, they are forever shamed,
By letting her kill you, they too shared the blame.
[Chorus]
God keep you Kieran, we pray every night,
And bless all the young men who keep on the fight,
When England is banished, united we'll be,
Your name, we remember when Ireland is free.
[Verse]
The hunger strike is over, but the struggle goes on,
To join Ireland's martyrs, ten brave men have gone,
Ah, but don't be disheartened, don't weep for their loss,
They'd rather, don't forget, than accept England's laws.
[Chorus]
God keep you Kieran, we pray every night,
And bless all those young men who keep on your fight,
When England is banished, united we'll be,
Your names, we remember when Ireland is free.
