The Walls of Éire
Testo
The Walls of Éire
[Verse] The frost kissed dawn on Erin's fair shore Where sunlight danced on emerald floor We raise the stones The walls stand tall To keep our kin Repel them all [Verse 2] Through mist and rain The shadows creep But our hearts strong No sleep we'll keep With hands and hearts We build the line For Erin's peace We draw design [Chorus] Raise the walls and guard the land From the cliffs to the rolling strand Send them back Those foreign cries For Éire's pride We'll rise and rise [Verse 3] Mothers sing of tales long told Of battles fought for green and gold Their voices blend in twilight haze In unity Our hearts we raise [Verse 4] Men with scars and eyes of fire Forge our strength Our one desire With every stone and every hand We bind our fate to this dear land [Chorus] Raise the walls and guard the land From the cliffs to the rolling strand Send them back Those foreign cries For Éire's pride We'll rise and rise
