Story behind the song
In the mid-1800's, a famine swept across Ireland, claiming over a million lives and tearing an entire people apart as huge portions of the population emigrated to America. As if the natural disaster weren't bad enough, English landlords and overseers took ruthless advantage of the situation, resulting in more misery for the population and attributing to the brutal length of famine. It was a textbook case of oppression by an opulent minority and contributed to Ireland's bloody struggle for independence for years after.
Lyrics
The sun greets a new dawn Cuts through the cloudy morn The fields that are my home My love and our newborn A mist comes from the sea And brings strange malady Bare ground and empty stores The roots as black as soot Utter hopeless blight Those in power thrive while we suffer to stay alive Blood mixed with rot is all we have to eat for months No sustenance, my people all starve, they all die What have we done? Who did we wrong? Why do we deserve Such complete contempt? Many more will die before the end How can they live with guilt like this? Now my worst fears come to be, my family, they are gone Innocence taken from me, and have to work for the privilege Nothing just Lost all faith Country breaks A source of rage for years to come Nothing just Lost all faith My heart breaks A source of rage for years to come Time to leave here and start a new life Broken men have no options left Those in power never paid for their crimes And now I stand alone The darkness melts away From ships across the sea To bury tragedy Take hold of destiny And face a brave new world I can tame my fate, find love again, but never forget How, once destroyed, I clawed my way back into the light
