Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the year of rage and fear
I set my eyes to here
To tear the gallows from the ground and pull the tyrants down
For a cruel crowd had come
With fire
Gas
And gun
Ag seasamh díreach
Croí gan éad
We’d bury every crown
Blood on the wheat
The children crying
Old ones praying
Young ones dying
“Éirigh suas
” the banshees calling
“Éirigh suas
Ná tit ar lár”
[Chorus]
On the rocky road to rising
One
Two
Three
Four
Five then
Slán leo
You beasts and liars
We’ll drag you through your fires
Fágfaidh muid gan treoir sibh
No shelter left to hide in
On the rocky road to rising high
We’ll tear your banners from the sky
[Verse 2]
From Baile Átha Cliath quay
Across the bloody sea
We watched their black flags stain the dawn
Their sermons full of hate
In every broken town
They tried to crush us down
But “ná déan dearmad” rang aloud
We would not share their fate
Smoke over fields
The tanks are crawling
Mothers wailing
Mountains calling
“Éirigh suas
” the rivers thunder
“Éirigh suas
Bris as an ghlas”
[Chorus]
On the rocky road to rising
One
Two
Three
Four
Five then
Slán leo
You beasts and liars
We’ll drag you through your fires
Fágfaidh muid gan treoir sibh
No shelter left to hide in
On the rocky road to rising high
We’ll tear your banners from the sky
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Low whistle enters]
Ní dhéanfar ár ndíothú
Ní dhéanfar sinn a thostú
(Éirigh, éirigh)
Ar son na marbh
Ar son na mbeo
Gan trócaire daoibhse a rinne an léigear seo
[Chorus]
On the rocky road to rising
One
Two
Three
Four
Five then
Slán leo
You beasts and liars
We’ll drag you through your fires
Fágfaidh muid gan treoir sibh
No shelter left to hide in
On the rocky road to rising high
We’ll roar your verdict to the sky
[Outro]
(Éirigh suas, éirigh suas)
‘Til every chain is rust and dust
(Éirigh suas, éirigh suas)
No more graves for your disgust
