What makes me walk through Ireland's shrines
And Ireland's holy shores
To see a country crucified
Your beauty crowned in thorns

And as I watch that wonderous cross

When the sins of generations fall

Across the green like rain
Here one world window opens wide
And demons they show face

And I fear that when the harvest comes
You'll see your freedom fall on stoney ground
