The Column - Cruachan

Arise arise hear the call of the land

Arise arise hear the call of the land

To arms to arms fight for the foreign threat

To arms to arms fight for the foreign threat

Blood blood spill our Irish blood

Blood blood spill our Irish blood

Honour honour for freedom we fight

Honour honour for freedom we fight

With their knowledge of war and social ideals

They set sail for the chaos in Spain

A country divided by political strife

Devastated by political gain

The Irish Brigade were already there

And had far greater numbers than they

They fought for the church that was wholly corrupt

And supported the Catholic way

Arise arise hear the call of the land

Arise arise hear the call of the land

To arms to arms fight for the foreign threat

To arms to arms fight for the foreign threat

Blood blood spill our Irish blood

Blood blood spill our Irish blood

Honour honour for freedom we fight

Honour honour for freedom we fight

The column consisted of working men

Led by their leader Frank Ryan

A noble band of 80 souls

Faced the firing line

Countless died in the searing Spanish heat

At Jarama many Irish men fell

The Republican brothers were in retreat

The threat they could not quell
