lyrics

BLOODY WAR
(4 premiers couplets : paroles & musique : trad. ("Song For
Ye Yacobites")
2 derniers couplets : paroles : morvan / musique : trad. (The
Stars Of The County Down")
Ye Yacobites by name
Lend and lear
Ye Yacobites by name
Your fault I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blaim
shall you hear
What is right and what is wrong
By the law
What is right and what is wrong
A short sword or a long
A weak arm or a strong
For the daw
What makes heroic strife
famed afair
What makes heroic strife
To whet the assassin's knife
Or hunt a parent's life
with bloody war
So let the schemes alone
In the state
So let the schemes alone
Adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone
to his fate
My people and yours can surely live together in the
same spot
without hearing after several weeks women cries and
man's gunshots
If you wanna make war to me cause my name sounds
different
if we wanna search real deep we will find a common
aunte
Freedom is a precious stone that any man wanna own
if you burst it into pieces it would worth a million more
Don't hope for the promise land that might have been
your proper
Prophets are all charlatans prophecies drives to
slaughter
Frontiers are the window bars of humanity jail
Politics are the warders and prisoners don't complain
