lirik lagu long held in chains – the irish brigade
[verse 1]
in 1798 we rose against england
we fought with our pikes, but they answered with guns
we fought them on the mountains, we fought by the rivers
we knew that if captured, we’d be tortured and hung
from antrim to derry, from wexford to kerry
we prayed that our freedom was soon to be won
[chorus]
ireland, ireland long held in chains
never defeated we’ve risen again
[verse 2]
a dark time in ireland there came a great famine
the people were starving the rents were too high
evictions, then hunger then forced emigration
our people with typhoid in ditches did die
the “young irelanders” fought back with determination
that once more in ireland the green flag would fly
[chorus]
ireland, ireland long held in chains
never defeated we’ve risen again
[verse 3]
the fenians fought both in ireland and england
their leaders were captured, transported for years
in exile they planned to return and free ireland
rossa then died, at his graveside stood pe*rs*
in 1916 the people had risen
for the age old demands: freedom, justice, and peace
[chorus]
ireland, ireland long held in chains
never defeated we’ve risen again
[verse 4]
the british would not give us full independence
partition, division, then came civil war
six counties in ulster are still held in bondage
the struggle goes on as it did years ago
oh let us now sing of ireland’s new heroes
ira volunteers who will end this long war
[chorus]
ireland, ireland long held in chains
never defeated we’ve risen again
ireland, ireland long held in chains
never defeated we’ve risen again
