dominic behan - soldiers of the rearguard lyrics

[verse 1]
far into[?] the morning, with flame and shot and sh+ll
now rally ireland, the sons who love you well
pledged to defend you, through death or prison cell
wait for the legion of the rearguard!

[chorus]
legion of the rearguard, answering ireland’s call
hark the sound of trumpets, from cork to donegal
tone and emmet guide you, although your task be hard
cathal brugha leads you, soldiers of the legion of the rearguard!

[verse 2]
sh+ll+shattered fortress, prison barricade
true to the story of our [?] aid
comrades, tread lightly, you’re near a hero’s grave
ne’er sleeps a soldier of the rearguard

[verse 3]
then “up the republic!”, we’ll raise our battle cry
pe+rs+, clarke, macdermott, we’ll pray for them on high
eager, and ready, for love of you to die
now march you soldiers of the rearguard!
[chorus]
legion of the rearguard, answering ireland’s call
hark the sound of trumpets, from cork to donegal
tone and emmet guide you, although your task be hard
cathal brugha leads you, soldiers of the legion of the rearguard!
