Roll of Honour

Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men
we must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a monster don’t think that you have won
we will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons,

In those weary H Block cages ten brave young Irishmen lay
hungering for justice while their young lives ebbed away,
for their rights as Irish soldiers and to free they’re native land
they stood beside their leader the gallant Bobby Sands,
Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy,
Ray McCreesh in Armagh's hills
In those narrow streets of Derry they miss O'Hara still,
They so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia's hold
Their names will be remembered as history unfolds,

Through the war torn streets of Ulster
the black flags did proudly wave
To salute ten Irish martyrs the bravest of the brave,
Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty
They gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee
Michael Devine from Derry you were the last to die,
With your nine brave companions with the martyred dead you lie,
Your souls cry out remember, our deaths are not in vain
Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again.
