《Michael Collins》歌词

[00:00:00] Michael Collins - Cruachan

[00:00:36] A volunteer in his nations struggle

[00:00:40] Another soldier in the G P O

[00:00:43] The rising failed our leaders captured

[00:00:47] The English grip would not let go

[00:00:50] But Michael would return to lead us

[00:00:54] In our fight to re-claim our lands

[00:00:58] The I R B will march victorious

[00:01:01] For they shall have the upper hand

[00:02:16] He railled men from far ans wide

[00:02:19] To join the rebellion that lay ahead

[00:02:23] His murder squad was formed in earnest

[00:02:27] The secret service soon lay dead

[00:02:30] In reprisal the British army killed

[00:02:34] Innocent people watching a hurling game

[00:02:37] That day would become a turning point

[00:02:41] Irish psyche would never be the same

[00:02:51] The customs house was set on fire

[00:02:52] The I R B became the I R A

[00:02:54] The time was nigh to call a cease-fire

[00:02:56] July 1th would be that day

[00:02:58] De Valera our elected president

[00:02:59] Knew a republic he would not get

[00:03:01] He sent Collins to meet the British

[00:03:03] He sent Collins to his death

[00:03:20] The British treaty was signed by Collins

[00:03:23] A free state was all they would give

[00:03:27] A step towards independence

[00:03:30] Is better that a war we cannot win

[00:03:34] Many people did not agree with him

[00:03:37] Civil war split the country in two

[00:03:41] Michael would die from an Irish bullet

[00:03:44] He gave his best

[00:03:45] What more could he do
