Oh Liffey

Oh Liffey, Oh Liffey    
Do you remember the long gone?  
Do their reflections still burn    
in the waters that bombed?    
Or did they just sail away    
Just happy to move on?    
Remember the fallen    
Because the Liffey rolls on    
   
Do  the drums hard  beat    
red ripple your shores?    
Does the parade remind you    
Of the damage before?    
Steady and ready    
You helped them to shores    
Oh Liffey Oh Liffey    
Roll on don't roll here no more    
   
The salt from your wind    
Breathes sin as you blow    
Did they see it coming    
Down at the G.P.O.?    
The survivors would fall    
With no mercy to know    
Long gone not forgotten    
In the Liffey they  flow
