freedom sons - the foggy dew lyrics

[verse 1]
as down the glen one easter morn
to a city fair rode i
there, armoured lines of marching men
in squadrons passed me by
no pipe did hum, nor battle drum
did sound its dread tattoo
but the angelus bell o’er the liffey swell
rang out through the foggy dew

[verse 2]
right proudly high over dublin town
they hung out the flag of war
’twas better to die neath an irish sky
than at suvla or sud+el+bar
and from the plains of loyal meath
strong men came hurrying through
while britannia’s huns with their long+range guns
sailed in through the foggy dew

[verse 3]
’twas britannia bade our wild geesе go
that small nations might be free
but their lonely gravеs are by suvla’s waves
or the shores of the grey north sea
o, had they died by pe+rs+’s side
or thought with cathal brugha
their names we would keep where the fenians sleep
neath the shroud of the foggy dew
[verse 4]
but the bravest fell and the requiem bell
rang mournfully and clear
for those who died that eastertide
in the springing of the year
and the world did gaze in deep amaze
at those fearless men but few
who bore the fight that freedom’s light
might shine through the foggy dew

foggy dew+ooh
