In our own slime we were lost in a time. In Mountjoy jail one Monday morningHigh upon the gallows treeKevin Barry gave his young lifeFor the cause of libertyBut a lad of eighteen summersYet no one can denyAs he walked to death that morningHe proudly held his head on high, Just before he faced the hangmanIn his dreary prison cellBritish soldiers tortured BarryJust because he would not tellThe names of his brave companionsAnd other things they wished to know“Turn informer or we’ll kill you”Kevin Barry answered, “No”, Calmly standing to attentionWhile he bade his last farewellTo his broken hearted motherWhose grief no one can tellFor the cause he proudly cherishedThis sad parting had to beThen to death walked softly smilingThat old Ireland might be free, Another martyr for old IrelandAnother murder for the crownWhose brutal laws may kill the IrishBut can’t keep their spirit downLads like Barry are no cowardsFrom the foe they will not flyLads like Barry will free IrelandFor her cause they’ll live and die. And the man who tells them when to come and take you to your cell. “All the ghosts of the past were there, one of the biggest ghosts was Bobby Sands, brought to life when I sat on the bed.”.

As you spent those final breathes, She’ll never spend the souls of those who weep, Upon the streets, of Tehran, Into the arms of every man, She casts the soul of this demised, Freedom fighter to the streets of, Bobby Sands. My body cold and hungry, in Parkhurst Gaol I lie; For loving of my country, on hunger strike I die – I have just one last longing, I pray you’ll not deny – Bury me in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky. Their memory is forever in my mind Pictures of their faces in my eyes My sorrow and grief will not subside And my love for them I will not disguise In silence we walked through the streets As one by one our hunger strikers died. Twenty years have gone by and I’ve ended me bond And comrades’ ghosts are behind me. Bobby Sands was the first of 10 republican hunger strikers to die in the Maze prison in the same year.
