... I don't know the name but I know some of the lyrics
I cannot sanctify, the reasons why, In prison cells, in lonely hells Our hunger strikers die. Show me an englishman who starved until he died Irish men have done it With honour and with pride Stand accused of murder Their blood is on your hands Of Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh Joe McDonnell, Bobby Sands Thats all I remember and Im not sure if its right but does anyone know the song or where to find the lyrics? |

I think I've seen it named "The men of '81" as well, but I am not sure, I will check when I get my music hard disk back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Wish you all the best, Banshee |

you stand accused of murder, the men of '81
The mists of time will honour this, the year of �81 When ten brave gallant Irishmen, a hunger-strike begun, You might as well have shot them like the men of Easter week, You knew they wouldn�t bend their knee, you knew they wouldn�t break You stand accused of murder their blood is on your hands, Of Francis Hughes, Ray McCreesh, Joe McDonnell, Bobby Sands, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Thomas McElwee, Mickey Divine, Patsy O�Hara and Keiron Doherty. Time will never sanctify the reasons why, In prison cells, in lonely hells our hunger-strikers died Show me an English man who�d starve until he died, But Irishmen have done it with honour and with pride. 800 years is far too long the time has come to leave, You�ve butchered and you�ve plundered, you�ve murdered and deceived, But we promise we will never give up our human rights To defend the men of �81 in their final lonely fight. thats it as far as i know. great song! |
