Kieran’s Song The Irish Brigade

[Verse 1]
He was born in Belfast in Andersonstown
Brought on without fear or respect for the crown
His heroes were rebels, with their life living pain
And soon he was part of the Belfast Brigade

[Chorus]
God keep you Kieran, we pray every night
And bless all the young men who keep on the fight
When England is vanished, united we'll be
Your name, we remember when Ireland is free

[Verse 2]
The priest gave elections for the people's first choice
But the cold hearted Thatcher would not heed their voice
Those lackeys in Dublin, they are forever shamed
By letting her kill you, they too shared the pain

[Chorus]
God keep you Kieran, we pray every night
And bless all the young men who keep on the fight
When England is vanished, united we'll be
Your name, we remember when Ireland is free

[Verse 3]
The Hunger Strike is over, but the struggle goes on
To join Ireland's martyrs, ten brave men have gone
Ah, but don't be disheartened, don't weep for their loss
They'd rather, don't forget, than accept England's laws
