.... was it greed ????
For what died the sons of Roisin?
Was it greed?
Was it greed that drove Wolfetone
To a martyrs death in a cell of cold wet stone

When we've sold enough of Ireland to be but strangers in it
For what died the sons of Roisin?
Was it greed?
To whom do we owe our allegiance today?
Well ???????????
