The flag upon the hill is waving in the dawn

The landscape lies in silent peace waiting for the morn

The Irish colors sparkling in the children's eyes

Calm sea in the haven where the "Pride of Ireland" lies

But dark clouds gathered all around

False pride and hatred will be bound

From far beyond the sea across the rivers wide

They come straight down from that hill, the fire's burning bright

"The Village Inn" where people met is dead and gone

Road blocks on the street, they burn - arsonists have won

And dark clouds gathered all around

False pride and hatred will be bound

Give me an answer, one reason more

Why so many brothers must die in the flame of war

One land, one nation, even religion's the same

But they're all to take the blame

Oh - it's a dirty betrayal

Of the book that they swore to believe in

But they accept to live in sin

Now they swear they won't give in

Give me an answer, one reason for

Why so many brothers

Must die in the flame of war
