When Ireland Was One ( By Joe Dunn & Kenn Gordon ) 
Who can remember when Ireland was one When North or South all were her sons No Union flags flew ore the Emeral Isle Before British Armies came to kill and defile Brultal laws and deportation These were the ways of a foreign nation 
There were some who arose to fight and defy History tells us of those who were willing to die With stories of heros and brave Irishmen true Who fought for freedom from the red white and blue Others who followed still fight to this day To give us the right to live our own way 
In nineteen sixteen a new spirit arose With armed rebellion and open revolt On Easter in Dublin when they made a stand The freedom of Ireland was their just demand Connolly and his his volunteer army swore To drive British tyrants back home from our shores 
Imprisoned and tortured by quislings and Brits Our country divided a North and South split We've wached as her sons and daughters were slain We've suffered their torture and withstood their pain The sacrifice made must not be in vain United Ireland it must be one again 
For eight hundred years this war has gone on And for eight hundred more until freedom is won Both Derry and Belfast are ours by right And we'll fight til thirty ywo counties unite We've fought them with pike and swords in our hands Now bullets and bombs will free Ireland 
Til Ireland is rulled by the Irish alone Remember the names Bobby Sands and Wolfe Tone Give praise to the others who have died all alone In streets or in prisons surrounded by stone We can never forgive or let others condone The crimes they commit in the name of their throne
