Two Years Enough

Hearken lads, our time is nigh.

We climb the hill, we form a line.

We fear no man for we have no fear of death.

As we hasten toward the glory on they bloody bayonets.

(Oi Oi Oi) I said rise Easter, rise.

Rise and fight for the fields of Athenry.

And when you see, the bloody bastards ride, 

fire all your guns upon the whites of their eyes.

 

CHORUS

Two years enough, two years enough.

(By four nineteen sixteen)

Two years enough, two years enough.

(we're taking back Steven's Green)

We've had enough you fuckin' bastards - just shove off.

Two years enough, two years enough.

 

Hearken lads, our time is nigh.

We don our colors, our banners high.

We will show them what it means to dress in red,

as we hasten toward the glory on their bloody bayonets.

(Oi Oi Oi) I said rise Easter, rise. 

Rise and fight for the fields of Athenry. 

And when you see, the bloody bastards ride,  

fire all your guns upon the whites of their eyes.

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Volunteers, yeah we're Irish Volunteers.

Run 'em down, I said we're Irish Volunteers.

Volunteers, yeah we're Connolly and Pearse

One, two, three, I said we're Irish Volunteers.

(Oi Oi Oi) I said rise Easter, rise. 

Rise and fight for the fields of Athenry. 

And when you see, the bloody bastards ride,  

fire all your guns upon the whites of their eyes.

 

REPEAT CHORUS X2
