Marching on to London
[Verse] Oh We're marching from the highlands Down to London town With fire in our bellies We'll never let them drown The hopes of honest working folks Who dream a future bright We'll tear down gates at Downing Street And cure this bitter blight [Verse 2] We've lads from Derry Girls from Cork All standing hand in hand With songs of freedom on our lips We're here to make a stand From every hill and hollow We join the rebel roar To kick down doors at number 10 And even up the score [Chorus] Marching on to London With our banners held up high For justice and for liberty We'll keep our spirits nigh With hearts so bold and voices strong Together we unite Republican men and women all We rise to win the fight [Verse 3] The Dublin streets are emptied As we rally for the cause With tales of ancient valor And defiance of the laws The echoes of our heroes Their struggles not in vain We'll storm the halls of power And break the tyrant's chain [Verse 4] We'll meet beneath the lamplight As the midnight hour draws near With pikes and flags and burning rage We’ll strike down every fear For those who came before us And the future yet to be We'll claim our rightful legacy And set our people free [Chorus]
