lyrics

THE SIEGE OF DROGHEDA
(Carlos del pino, David Sheilds)

Twas in September, sixteen hundred and forty nine
In the emerald isle, on the banks of the river Boyne
Twelve thousand English fighting men with guns ready to pound
Descended on the south of fair old Drogheda town

A siege was fought and blood was spilled,
Heads put on display for all,
Survivors shipped to far away lands,
All guilty of standing tall,
Cromwells rage invoked by seeing fallen, comrades at the wall
No quarter was given, all put to the sword,
Again, we never will fall.

With the crown on our side, we readied ourselves,
The roundheads travelled to our shores, with Dublin already held,
A council was convened, resolute defence was declared,
An enemy in need of supplies, our ports their target we heard.

Our walls were high but thin, no match for the cannon fire,
Two breaches made, a surrender refused, our situation looked dire.
The town was taken, St. Peter´s destroyed, a massacre had begun,
Let no man say the cruelty of tyrants should be suffered by anyone.

Irish folk played as punk rock and mixed like metal? Yes please! Irish Moutarde has been my very favorite Celtic punk band since the first time I heard this album. I’ve recommended them to as many people as I can. Seriously good stuff! bad360punk (Wheat Hands Dragon)
