the two brendans - the irish brigade lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ll tell a tale of gallant men
who in the hills around crossmaglen
became a living legend in their day
their daring deeds in freedom’s fight
shone like a beacon in the night
where harvey and mcverry showed the way

[chorus]
a song can’t bring them back again
or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
a song can only keep alive the names
of gallant women and of men
their lives consumed in freedom’s flame
and we owe that much to moley and to burns
[verse 2]
a pall of smoke rose o’er the thе land
as cruel fate had played its hand
thе two brendans would have chose no other way
they died the way they had want to go
in action ‘gainst the british foe
they lived and died to serve the ira

[verse 3]
in crossmaglen and dromintee
we keep alive their memory
in silverbridge we speak their names with pride
and from dorsey down to keady town
through generations we’ll pass on
their exploits and the cause for which they died

[chorus]
a song can’t bring them back again
or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
a song can only keep alive the names
of gallant women and of men
their lives consumed in freedom’s flame
and we owe that much to moley and to burns
[verse 4]
we’re a special kind of people here
we breed defiance, never fear
and we’ll still be here, when the tide against england turns
oh, for in our hearts, we know we’re right!
and we never will give up the fight!
we owe that much to moley and to burns

[chorus]
a song can’t bring them back again
or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
a song can only keep alive the names
of gallant women and the men
their lives consumed in freedom’s flame
and we owe that much to moley and to burns

[outro]
we salute you, brendan moley and brendan burns
