david mcwilliams - lord offaly lyrics
[verse 1]
i am the lord of offaly
silken thomas is my name
no sword for henry will i hold
my heritage i claim
[verse 2]
to trust no more in foreign kings
whose word i treat with scorn
my father lies in london’s tower
the prey of henry’s p+wns
[verse 3]
here in your council chamber
where long i have been blind
this sword of state i give and more
the curse of geraldine
[verse 4]
the chanting of my harper
foretells what must be done
my army lies in maynooth now
my battle flag is hung
[instrumental break]
[verse 5]
what cruel fate befalls to see
all ormond raised in arms
the butlеrs seek advancement
may the lord keep us from harm
[verse 6]
my castlе is surrendered
my army scattered far
and all as prisoners murdered
that no hero here may flower
[verse 7]
alone i wait in ferment
no trial will i see
by church and crown i’m outlawed
and tyburn waits for me
[verse 8]
still my curse i lay on thee
that all who are of thine
will long remember offaly
and the house of geraldine
