Ira! - God Save Ireland lyrics

rate me

God save Ireland, said the heros God save Ireland, said they all Whether on the scaffold high Or the battlefield we die Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall <br />

High upon the gallows tree swung the noble hearted three <br />

By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom <br />

But they met him face to face with the courage of their race <br />

And they went with souls undaunted to their doom <br />

<br />

God save Ireland, said the heros <br />

God save Ireland, said they all <br />

Whether on the scaffold high <br />

Or the battlefield we die <br />

Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall <br />

<br />

Climbed they up the rugged stair, rang their voices out in prayer <br />

Then with England's fatal cord around them cast <br />

Close beside the gallows tree kissed like brothers lovingly <br />

True to home and faith and freedom to the last <br />

<br />

God save Ireland, said the heros <br />

God save Ireland, said they all <br />

Whether on the scaffold high <br />

Or the battlefield we die <br />

Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall <br />

<br />

Never till the latest day shall the memory pass away <br />

Of the gallant lives thus given for our land <br />

But on the cause must go, amidst joy and weal and woe <br />

Till we make our Isle a nation free and grand <br />

<br />

God save Ireland, said the heros <br />

God save Ireland, said they all <br />

Whether on the scaffold high <br />

Or the battlefield we die <br />

Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall<br />
