cd: Dulahan

track 9: Eye for an Irish Eye

CHORUS

I’ll take an eye for an Irish eye
or I’ll die for the Emerald Isle
I won’t allow the crown to walk upon I
And I swear on my parents’ grave
I’ll fight on for Erin’s way
Till then there’ll be no smile in the Irish eye

My grandpa lost his pride
when the second harvest died
He begged the streets to keep my Da alive
I wear his memory proud,
and shout his message loud
Without freedom, peace cannot survive

CHORUS

The wealth within our land
is tightly in their hands
But loosening as every day goes by
For every fist they’ve made,
will soundly be repaid
A people’s spirit cannot be denied

CHORUS

I pledge my children’s lives,
will honor those who died
They won’t neglect the price that must be paid
When ruled against their will
they’ll fight the tyrants still
It’s in their blood, they shall not be afraid

CHORUS
