The Rebel Tones

In the quiet of the morning we wait for the roar

The echo of our heartbeat at dawn

We raise up our voice and don't feel alone

When we Let The People Sing out once more

When we Let The People Sing out once more

From Belfast and Derry to Armagh and Newry

The gunfires light up the sky

Tonight in the streets the tricolour will fly

For The Men Behind The Wire shall be free

For The Men Behind The Wire shall be free

Confined in the walls of this prison cell

Proud 'till the end I must stand

I'll never leave the Van Diemen's Land

But I fell for The Town I Loved So Well

But I fell for The Town I Loved So Well

Of 1981 with grief must be learned

That future lies in your hands

In the name of the fallen and for Bobby Sands

Who Back Home in Derry will never return

Who Back Home in Derry will never

So here's to my comrades who fought to the bones

In the dark H-blocks of the Maze

Not even time will ever erase

The words and the tunes of The Rebel Tones

The words and the tunes of The Rebel

The words and the tunes of The Rebel

The words and the tunes of The Rebel Tones
