Soldier’s Song / Song of the Fianna Lyrics by The Davitts

Celtic Anthems

1997

[Verse 1]
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song
With cheering rousing chorus
As round our blazing fires we throng
The starry heavens o'er us
Impatient for the coming fight
And as we await the morning's light
Here in the silence of the night
We will chant a soldier's song
[Chorus]
Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave
Sworn to be free
No more our ancient sireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave
Tonight we man the maw of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal
We will chant a soldier's song
[Verse 2]
In valley green, on towering crag
Our fathers fought before us
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us
We're children of a fighting race
That never yet has known disgrace
And as we march, the foe to face
We will chant the soldier's song
[Chorus]
Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave
Sworn to be free
No more our ancient sireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave
Tonight we man the maw of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal
We will chant the soldier's song
[Verse 3]
Sons of the Gael, men of the Pale
The long-watched day is breaking
The serried ranks of Inisfail
Shall set the tyrant quaking
Our campfires now are burning low
See in the east a silvery glow
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe
So chant the soldier's song
[Chorus]
Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave
Sworn to be free
No more our ancient sireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave
Tonight we man the maw of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal
We will chant the soldier's song
