God Be With You Lyrics
The truth will never hide
Even though I tried
They tried to take my pride
But they only took my father from me
They only took my father
Even though I cried
Even though I tried
Again...
God be with you Ireland
God be with you Ireland
Sometimes I was afraid
Even though I prayed
I've lost my religion now
You took that too, somehow
Blood upon thy hands (upon thy hands)
Blood upon thy hands (upon thy hands)
Again...
(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland
(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland
(God be with you now) x4
Even though I tried
They tried to take my pride
But they only took my father from me
They only took my father
Even though I cried
Even though I tried
Again...
God be with you Ireland
Even though I prayed
I've lost my religion now
You took that too, somehow
Blood upon thy hands (upon thy hands)
Blood upon thy hands (upon thy hands)
Again...
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland

I agree with RausRaus, this song is awesome. I saw the clip of that on Youtube and it's really good. You should also check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a33WyiE1c0k

Maybe this is about England trying to take over Ireland during that time. They seized their land, burned their records, etc… Bad time.
