Heroes From Our Past

Heroes From Our Past - Dropkick Murphys

And so the story's told of a hearty group of men

It's a tale of their triumphs and their woes

Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle

That inspires men to stand up for their rights

And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world

We can look back to these heroes of our past

With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will

No tyranny would quell them in their task

It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message:

That time and tide waiteth for no man

So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome

It's for freedom and for happiness they toiled

An in looking to the future

We can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all

It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest

It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask

So come on rally round this brave and valiant

Cause with tradition pride and honor at its core

With swords drawn to defend stood these noble-hearted men fág an bealach

Clear the way me boys

Under perilous conditions with small hope of success they left behind the lives that they once led

And by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength

They cleared the way for the people of today

So when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark

And thank the men whose struggle broke the chain it's a long road up ahead of us

Let's forge on while we're strong and leave our mark of honor once again

So come on rally round this brave and valiant
