Lyrics
As I stand here within these walls,
And I fight for this, my home,
I am proud to be a defender of,
Ireland’s sacred hills and shores.
If you had asked me how I felt,
When the battle was anew,
I’d have said at once I have no doubt,
What it is that I must do.
As I proudly hold my head up high,
Know I’ll not desert this my stand.
I will fight and pray that I endure,
For my blessed Ireland.
No, I will not fall from grace today,
I shall not attempt to disband,
For I will remain a patriot,
Even die for Ireland.
If by the hands of man I die,
If my God wants that to be,
I know heaven will be waiting there,
Somewhere just beyond the sea.
For now I’ll fight, I shall not run,
No, I will not be afraid,
I will firmly stand my ground today,
As I honor this crusade.
No, I will not fall from grace today,
I shall not attempt to disband,
For I will remain a patriot,
Even die for Ireland.
No, I will not fall from grace today,
I shall not attempt to disband,
I will proudly die a patriot,
For my home, my Ireland.
