[Verse]
I watched it on the TV and I couldn't understand,
Ten forgotten heroes were been honoured in our land,
For eighty years they'd been ignored in the land for which they died,
When it suited politicians to bath in borrowed pride.

[Chorus]
Ten forgotten men are honoured once again,
And stand alongside Pearse and Connolly,
When a hundred years are gone their memory will live on,
In a land that stands united and free.

[Verse]
At the barricades in Sackville Street, brave men fought and died,
From the ashes of the GPO our heroes rose with pride,
In '66 their memory was proclaimed throughout the land,
What happened these last 30 years, it's hard to understand.

[Chorus]
Ten forgotten men are honoured once again,
And stand alongside Pearse and Connolly,
When a hundred years are gone their memory will live on,
In a land that stands united and free.

[Verse]
Now as thousands throng the Dublin streets, ten coffins move along,
And my mind goes back to Bobby Sands and the men of 81,
Where were these politicians to speak out for ten brave men?
Can't they see it's just hypocrisy to say they're not same.

[Chorus]
Ten forgotten men are honoured once again,
And stand alongside Pearse and Connolly,
When a hundred years are gone their memory will live on,
In a land that stands united and free.

[Chorus]
Ten forgotten men are honoured once again,
And stand alongside Pearse and Connolly,
When a hundred years are gone their memory will live on,
In a land that stands united and free.

[Outro]
Ten forgotten men are honoured once again,
And stand alongside Pearse and Connolly.
