Die for These

For the love of land and country For the Nation proud and free For the fate of the people's struggle May we fight and die for these That the future of our people Might be built with our own willing hands And beyond all gods and masters May we build a free Ireland No matter if you don't trace your her'tage To the shores of the Emerald Isle You can know what it means, to pledge to the green With every pleasure and trial If you work for a living If you struggle every day Fearless and strong, like Erin's rough song You've joined in Old Ireland's fray For the love of land and country For the Nation proud and free For the fate of the people's struggle May we fight and die for these That the future of our people Might be built with our own willing hands And beyond all gods and masters May we build a free Ireland If you dream of freedom From under the bosses' demands You can dare to claim your birthright and name And fight like the Tuatha de Danaan Hear the echoes of Behan and Connolly And Padraig will keep your spirit strong The truth of the Three, sacred woman is She As you take up your own rebel song For the love of land and country For the Nation proud and free For the fate of the people's struggle May we fight and die for these That the future of our people Might be built with our own willing hands And beyond all gods and masters May we build a free Ireland For the love of land and country For the Nation proud and free For the fate of the people's struggle May we fight and die for these That the future of our people Might be built with our own willing hands And beyond all gods and masters May we build a free Ireland
