The High Kings - The Irish Roar Lyrics

The High Kings Lyrics

"The Irish Roar"

Fair auld pride for the county I
Was called upon to lead
Was born and bred with a braisened head
By a wild Atlantic sea
Through fear we ride and death we stride
And face a life of toil
We're marching on where we belong
On Ireland's rugged soil
So run and power on and power on
And follow me
I'll bring you to the light
In through the fight
As men we live and bleed
So fear be gone and blood be on
Our tweed and garments wore
And men will pray and rue the day
They hear the Irish roar

Love Ireland
Bleed Ireland
Live Ireland
Breathe Ireland
Lift Ireland
Lead Ireland
Be I.R.E.L.A.N.D.

Ireland
Bleed Ireland
Live Ireland
Breathe Ireland
Lift Ireland
Lead Ireland
Be I.R.E.L.A.N.D.

(Glóir, Croí, Grá, Éire)

We are but land and grit and sand
And bog and stone and flame
Our spirits wake through crashing lakes
And songs without a name
From Clare to Down, from hill to town
The bloodline runs afar
And every grave where good men lay
Shall guide us through the dark
So rise and power on and power on
And follow me
I'll lead you through the light, into the fight
As men we shall but lead
Our mothers weep, their sorrows deep
But know the cause is true
For every son that bears a gun
A thousand more will do

Love Ireland
Bleed Ireland
Live Ireland
Breathe Ireland
Lift Ireland
Lead Ireland
Be I.R.E.L.A.N.D.
