  1. Song

    Awake men of Éirinn

    Awake men of Éirinn
    The long night is ending
    The first golden gleam of the morning has come
    Voices long sundered in concord are blending
    High hopes are surging
    One for a nation's right
    On for a noble fight
    Leap from your sleep at the call of the dawn
    Win back your own again
    Tear off the thraldom chain
    On! On! the war cry
    Sinn Féin amháin
    Why should we sleep
    While our land is in danger
    Why should we crave in the halls of a stranger
    Only the Gael can make lays for the Gael
