You started this fight but with all of your might You can't seem to finish the job. You didn't count on the folks who went out And started the first Irish mob.
A martyr has soul and passion and goal And the whole world will soon know you're lying And in the end, you'll find out, my friend, That the Irish will always look you in the eye.
CHORUS: O Tiocfaidh ár lá, that's what we say A simple little song we sing every day We won't stop believing You won't see no fear in our eyes. Our Day Will Come, there is no doubt There's only one way we want you And that way is OUT. Tiocfaidh Ar La, we love you, Erin go bragh.
The innocent who paid day after day Through the famine you caused in our land Circled the globe so the truth sang at home Would be one truth we'd all understand
Tables always turn and Rome surely burned And your empire is gone now at last Now how does it feel to have no friends who're real? Now it's your turn to live with your flag at half mast.
CHORUS
To the Seminole Indians, thank you, my friends, For sending the Irish your food. To the English who kept it, we won't swear in this song Let's just say you'll never be no good. You just can't be trusted, your word's not your bond And folks who believe you are fools. Cause you'll get in bed, say what needs to be said If it works in that moment in history for you.
CHORUS (2X) Tiocfaidh ár lá, we love you, Erin go bragh
