"Rule #23 - Birds Of A Feather" lyrics
She was born by the sea
Her father bounced her on his knee
While he shared past stories of grandeur
That would dance inside her head
Every night while tucked in bed
Same tales, different actor
There were costumes on the floor
She'd use a wooden stick and board
To vanquish the foes that were after
All them stuffed up toys
That were sticking 'round by choice
They were family, in this together
Well, she grew like a tree
She sought out bonny company
Built the finest crew you could ask for
They were brave and sturdy lads
That reminded her of dad
Back to back, birds of a feather
Ai di ai, ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
With a scaled-down graph
Her husband did the math
On a course to have the advantage
'Cause the British, they were smart
But they didn't have the heart
Of our strong Irish companions
They can write shoddy laws
And try to buy her off
But they'll never own what we have here
A solidarity within familiar seas
'Cause we are one in the thousands
Ai di ai
Ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
Ai di ai
Ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
She defended her name
As the cannon shots and flames
Tried to deter what she is after
And although she lost her love
She's never givin' up
To these tyrant, dirty ol' bastards
We would charge as a pack
You can never hold us back
We are fierce and grew in each battle
'Cause it's etched inside our veins
The hardships that we've gained
We've become a myth unraveled
Ai di ai
Ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
Ai di ai
Ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
In those final days
In the castle she had claimed
She drew the sword that had brought her
Through countless victories
That she survived to see
In the tale of her own grandeur
Ai di ai
Ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
Ai di ai
Ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
Back to back, birds of a feather
Back to back, birds of a feather
Her father bounced her on his knee
While he shared past stories of grandeur
That would dance inside her head
Every night while tucked in bed
Same tales, different actor
There were costumes on the floor
She'd use a wooden stick and board
To vanquish the foes that were after
All them stuffed up toys
That were sticking 'round by choice
They were family, in this together
Well, she grew like a tree
She sought out bonny company
Built the finest crew you could ask for
They were brave and sturdy lads
That reminded her of dad
Back to back, birds of a feather
Ai di ai, ai di oh
A voyage for the soul
Back to back, birds of a feather
With a scaled-down graph

On a course to have the advantage
'Cause the British, they were smart
But they didn't have the heart
Of our strong Irish companions
They can write shoddy laws
And try to buy her off
But they'll never own what we have here
A solidarity within familiar seas
'Cause we are one in the thousands

Back to back, birds of a feather
Back to back, birds of a feather
