Standing proud the Celtic Race Never feared the foe to face Scot and Irish we are one we're Celts we're Celts we will fight on 1 William Wallace sword in hand fought to free his home and land Hugh O Neill and Eoghan Roe On Ulster's hills they fought the foe England the ancient enemy Took with force our liberty tried to destroy our freedom's cause With Cruel and oppressive foreign laws Chorus 2 In the highlands every clan fought the Sassanach to man Crofters whipped out from their homes In foreign lands were forced to roam England saw the great starvation A way to destroy the Irish nation Hunger famine and disease brought the Irish people to their knees 3 Our histories are twisted like the rope That hung around many a rebel throat Resistance and rising through the years We've lost good men, shed floods of tears Its time for England a truth to face They will never defeat the Celtic Race Scot and Irish we are one Our people our music our Gealic tongue
For as long as there shall be One hundred men with hearts that's free Our consent we'll never give To British dominion while we live Glory, honour, truth or right Are not the reasons Celts do fight For freedom alone that we're content And for this we struggle till our lifes end
