lirik lagu ciaran murphy - where archibald warwick died

[verse 1]
not a mile from kircubbin, where the wild road turns stubborn
where the mourne mountain breeze chops against the loughside
there’s a yard down the land with no statue of name
there’s no fame and no pride
there’s where archibald warwick died

in the days when kings trembled as our bravest assembled
who break from the darkness and set ireland free
when peasants and pastors look past old disasters
put their visions aside
out whеre archibald warwick died

[verse 2]
when thе pike and the bible launched ulster’s revival
and the last field to fall, it rose up once again
there young archibald preached and his flock he beseeched
this is no planter’s den
come be brave irish women and men

[chorus]
but in the foul breath of battle, he heard the death rattle
of his old congregation, all battered and torn
they buried his flock in the cherished green ribbons they’d worn

[verse 3]
archie preached of a land where we’d walk hand in hand
in a people’s republic with god on our side
with no master beside us, no crown to divide us
just a union of men
in the garden of eden again
so with pikes at the ready, they took portaferry
drove redcoats from bangor to donaghadee
till the flag over down was the harp with no crown
and the ards, it was free
then they watered the liberty tree

[chorus]
but in the foul breath of battle, he heard the death rattle
of his old congregation, all battered and torn
they buried his flock in the cherished green ribbons they’d worn

[verse 4]
but the tide, how it turned and the homesteads they burned
when the redcoats remustered and sh~lled ballynahinch
not a rebel was spared, no surrender was heard
then our leaders were lynched
british justice in ireland was clinched

but archie knew they were tougher, like our lord they must suffer
when mccracken lost antrim, he never lost heart
for our own sons and daughters, with our own blood we’ll water
these fields where i taught
just let history record that we fought

[chorus]
but in the foul breath of battle, he heard the death rattle
of his old congregation, all battered and torn
they buried his flock in the cherished green ribbons they’d worn
[verse 5]
in the cold of october when the fight was long over
and our brave summer soldiers all dead or at sea
with the french long surrendered
and leinster dismembered
and the ards now asleep
still in secret, the old names they keep

but that sat~rday morning, with an orange sun dawning
a detachment of redcoats came down strangford lough
they gathered each clan, every woman, each man
every child forced to see
what the price of rebellion would be

there the soldiers of satan with their gallows were waiting
and young reverend warwick, in a noose he was bound
in a robe white as snow, there they lifted him low
not a foot from the ground
till the dark dance of death spun him round

[chorus]
and in the foul breath of battle, he’d heard the death rattle
of his old congregation, all battered and torn
they buried his flock in the cherished green ribbons they’d worn

[verse 6]
but a bright day will come when our country is won
in a people’s republic with god on our side
and we’ll march hand in hand and united we’ll stand
and we’ll stand there with pride
out where archibald warwick died
yeah, we’ll stand there with pride
out where archibald warwick died
