[ti:A Nation Once Again] [ar:Various Artists] [al:Pure Irish Rebels] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]A Nation Once Again - Shamrog [00:04.51]When boyhood's fire was in my blood [00:08.19]I read of ancient freemen, [00:11.88]For Greece and Rome who bravely stood, [00:15.54]Three hundred men and three men; [00:19.46]And then I prayed I yet might see [00:22.86]Our fetters rent in twain, [00:26.75]And Ireland, long a province, be. [00:30.48]A Nation once again! [00:33.95]A Nation once again, [00:37.79]A Nation once again, [00:41.55]And lreland, long a province, be [00:45.32]A Nation once again! [00:49.06]And from that time, through wildest woe, [00:52.64]That hope has shone a far light, [00:56.56]Nor could love's brightest summer glow [00:59.52] [01:00.11]Outshine that solemn starlight; [01:03.68]It seemed to watch above my head [01:07.35]In forum, field and fane, [01:11.17]Its angel voice sang round my bed, [01:15.08]A Nation once again! [01:18.44]A Nation once again! [01:21.89]A Nation once again! [01:25.45]And Ireland long a province be a nation one again [01:33.21]It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark [01:36.99]And service high and holy, [01:40.67]Would be profaned by feelings dark [01:44.34]And passions vain or lowly; [01:48.13]For, Freedom comes from God's right hand, [01:51.75]And needs a Godly train; [01:55.32]And righteous men must make our land [01:59.01]A Nation once again! [02:02.46]A Nation once again! [02:06.43]A Nation once again! [02:10.01]And Ireland long a province be a nation once again [02:17.57]A Nation once again! [02:21.07]A Nation once again! [02:24.66]And Ireland long a province be a nation once again
