Goodbye Bobby Sands by Mark Ryan
(Spoken)
From London, legal terrorists, rule with hands of gold
Buying trust with golden dust, while livelihoods are sold
By way of stealth they build their wealth, and decorate their abode
Beneath the gates the worms wait, in clay so cruel and cold

From Caledonia's highland hills, while Scotia's sons did sleep
They cleared the glens of highland men, more profit made from sheep
But sons of sons they soon forgot, no tears of hate to weep
And like their Gaelic cousins all, their fate they did not keep

Once more from Erin's well worn womb, one more martyr is born
And from our gory history book, a blood-stained page is torn
That day in May what can I say, for no-one understands
It is for real the way I feel, Goodbye Bobby Sands

(Sung)
Darkness falls across this island, countless thousand heavy hearts
A country mourns in bitter silence, they've taken freedom's lark
Cold as ice you lie there naked, like a child in old man's skin
And so a life it can be taken, the spirit dwells within

And so tonight I go to war, tonight I go
And so tonight I go to war, tonight I go to war

Many battles now are raging, bullets flying overhead
Hear the sound of windows breaking, they've heard that you are dead
Hear the screams of crying children, daddy won't be home tonight
Here he lies within this prison, given up his life

And do tonight I go to war, tonight I go
And so tonight I go to war, tonight I go to war

Helpless hands they tried to save you, empty words they never can
The devil woman's come to take you, goodbye Bobby Sands

And do tonight I go to war, tonight I go
And so tonight I go to war, tonight I go to war

And do tonight I go to war, tonight I go
And so tonight I go to war, tonight I go to war

And do tonight I go to war, tonight I go
And so tonight I go to war, tonight I go to war

Tonight I go
Tonight I go to war
