Ireland Lyrics

I'm thinking this song has to do with the Irish that went and fought with the British in WWI and they were promised their independence if they fought. However that didn't happen.

@NGwarfare its about the american civil war

@NGwarfare - Britain did NOT promise independence for Ireland if people fought in World War 1. However, Irish people took advantage of the times to launch the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, eventually leading to the independent Republic of Ireland being formed in 1918.
