Ireland United Gaelic and Free - Ray McAreavey

I loved this song when I was younger:

In Armagh and in Derry in Antrim and in Down
The North Gael is rising to bring down the Crown
Once more the old war cry and the blood running high
We'll fight for true Ireland for today we will die

Chorus:
Ireland united Gaelic and free
Land of my birth in freedom you'll be

From New York and Chicago in Sydney and in Perth
The Gaelic storm is growing it's sweeping across the earth
To serve the Queen or Kremlin in freedom we shall dwell
And to try to step in England's shoes we'll see them all in hell

Chorus:
Ireland united Gaelic and free
Land of my birth we're born to be free

The banshee's mournful whisper of an old lost battle scene
The true Gael's blood is falling to preserve our ancient green
The day of the slaver will no longer be
And when Gaels stand united they'll always be free

Chorus:
Ireland united Gaelic and free
Land of my birth in freedom you'll be

Is there any mind so yellow is there any heart so black
Can stand and watch their country torn apart on England's rack
Remember now in Belfast good men will fight and die
To keep the shining vision alive and burning high

Chorus:
Ireland united Gaelic and free
Shining in splendour our true destiny
Ireland united Gaelic and free
Shining in splendour our true destiny

@xxksaoXX If I can ever save up the money, I will. If you can honestly prove me wrong I will admit it.

@12hiddendragons Please come to northern ireland, i would love to show the truth.

[12hiddendragons]

@xxksaoXX No, you are wrong on that. I have read those statistics and they say the opposite. And when they kneecap people, its because they were thieving or dealing drugs, and had already been warned.

[xxksaoXX]

@12hiddendragons It is slightly different subject, but it is linked.

[12hiddendragons]

The idea that Dal Riata was an Irish Gaelic colony is far from proven fact. And I think you are basing your understanding of Tristan and Isolde on the modern film interpretation. I have read the original, and to me it sounds more like a bunch of raiding from one coastline to another, and not an example of any kind of long-term colonization.

[xxksaoXX]

@12hiddendragons But they didn't seldom attack civilians, why on earth would i say they did if they didn't? I have nothing to gain from doing so.

The only thing that went wrong was when they decided to make that damn bomb a kill tons of people.

@12hiddendragons Every statistic says the IRA killed a similar number of civilians to the Loyalists. Also look at the statistics of IRA kneecapping.

The reason why loyalist paramilitaries didn't kill irish military is because there are no Irish soldiers in the North.

They did however always try and attack IRA members. But it is impossible to know how many of those were members of republican paramilitaries.

@12hiddendragons All it takes is a simple google search, do you have a problem with doing that?

[12hiddendragons]

@xxksaoXX I agree that it would be strange for indians to have loyalty to the US government. Why would they? But again, that is a different subject.

[xxksaoXX]

@12hiddendragons It has everything to do with it! It is plain before your eyes. Some Irish invaded parts of Scotland and created their own kingdom there. Dál Riata was an Irish kingdom in Scotland.

In Tristan and Isolde, you see an Irish King (Donnchadh) raiding and dominating the British Isles effectively subjugating them.
