Dark Horse on the Wind
[Verse 1]
Oh those who died for liberty
Have heard the eagle scream
All the ones who died for liberty
Have died but for a dream
Oh rise, rise, rise, dark horse on the wind
For in no nation on the earth
More broken dreams you'll find
[Verse 2]
The flames leaped high, reached to the sky
Till they seared a nation's soul
In the ashes of our broken dreams
We’ve lost sight of our goal
O risе, rise, rise, dark horse on thе wind
And help our hearts seek Róisín
Our soul again to find
[Verse 3]
Now charlatans wear dead men's shoes
Aye and rattle dead men's bones
‘Ere the dust has settled on their tombs
They've sold the very stones
O rise, rise, rise, dark horse on the wind
For in no nation on the earth
More Pharisees you'll find
[Verse 4]
In the grief and hate our motherland
Her dragon's teeth has sown
Now the warriors spring from the earth
To maim and kill their own
O rise, rise, rise, dark horse on the wind
For the one-eyed Balor still reigns king
In our nation of the blind
