To all soldiers of Ireland

Let madness run through your veins

And never doubt yourself

Or be forced to change

 

Hold on to the pain boys

And ride the freezing winds

Don’t let anyone tell you

That you have sinned

 

Avoid groups of people

Who wish to shape you into their own

For all they represent

Is an authoritarian throne

 

(rattling bones)

 

Don’t go easy

Stay hard and true

Ireland is for the individual

For the likes of me and you
