Ireland

[Verse 1]

They say mother earth is breathing

With each wave that finds the shore

Her soul rises in the evening

For to open twilight's door

Her eyes are the stars in heaven

Watching o'er us all the while

And her heart it is in Ireland

Deep within the Emerald Isle

[Verse 2]

We are forty against hundreds

In someone else's bloody war

We know not why we're fighting

Or what we're dying for

They will storm us in the morning

When the sunlight turns the sky

Death is waiting for its dance now

Fate has sentenced us to die

[Chorus]

Ireland, I am coming home

I can see your rolling fields of green and fences made of stone

I am reaching out, won't you take my hand

I'm coming home, Ireland

[Verse 3]

Oh, the captain he lay bleeding

And I can hear him callin' me

These men are yours now for the leading

Show them to their destiny

And as I look up all around me

I see the ragged, tired, and torn

I tell them to make ready

'Cause we're not waiting for the morn'

[Chorus]

Ireland, I am coming home

I can see your rolling fields of green and fences made of stone

I am reaching out, won't you take my hand

I'm coming home, Ireland

[Verse 4]

Now the fog is deep and heavy

As we forge the dark and fear

We can hear their horses breathing

As in silence, we draw near

And there are no words to be spoken

Just a look to say goodbye

I draw a breath and night is broken

As I scream our battle cry

[Chorus]

Ireland, I am coming home

I can see your rolling fields of green and fences made of stone

I am reaching out, won't you take my hand

I'm coming home, Ireland

Yes, I am home, Ireland

[Outro]

We were forty against hundreds
