[00:04.845] How many more must die now how many must we lose
[00:13.728] Until the island people their own destiny can choose
[00:23.315] From immortal Robert Emmet to Bobby Sands MP
[00:32.063] Who was given thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[00:40.982] He was a poet and a soldier he died courageously
[00:50.260] And we gave him thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[01:01.709] Thomas Ashe gave everything in 1917 1917
[01:10.354] The Lord Mayor of Cork McSwiney died for freedom to obtain
[01:18.972] Never a one of all our dead died more courageously
[01:27.501] Than young Bobby Sands from Twinbrook the people’s own MP
[01:36.265] He was a poet and a soldier he died courageously
[01:45.379] And we gave him thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[01:56.506] No more he’ll hear the lark’s sweet notes upon the Ulster air
[02:05.245] Or gaze upon the snowflake to calm his deep despair
[02:13.461] Before he went on hunger strike young Bobby did compose
[02:22.193] The Rhythm of Time, The Weeping Wind and The Sleeping Rose 《
[02:30.600] He was a poet and a soldier he died courageously
[02:39.259] And we gave him thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[02:50.410] Forever we’ll remember him that man who died in pain
[02:58.785] That his country north and south be united once again
[03:07.154] To mourn him is to organise and build a movement strong
[03:16.381] With ballot box and armalite and with music and with our songs
[03:24.335] He was a poet and a soldier he died courageously
[03:32.841] And we gave him thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[03:41.421] Oh the poet and the soldier he died courageously
[03:50.193] And we gave him 30, 000 votes while in captivity
[00:04.845] How many more must die now how many must we lose
[00:13.728] Until the island people their own destiny can choose
