Lyrics:
There's a place just outside of Lisburn It's a place that's known to few Where a group of Irish rebels Are held by Faulkner's crew
They're forced to live in cages Like the inmates of Bellevue But the spirit of 1916 Will always see them through
The men in this vile place They come from far and near Some from the Derry Bogside And Omagh town so near
And some them from Belfast From the Market and the Falls From the narrow streets of Ardoyne And all around Tyrone
On that black day in August When Faulkner showed his hand He thought that by internment He could break our gallant band
But the boys from Ballymurphy How they showed the way that night And they taught those English soldiers How Irishmen could fight
Long Kesh it's known to everyone The system must be broke Ardoyne the New Lodge and the Falls Will see the system choke
No more the special powers act Their means will envoke And Long Kesh will be the U-stone On which the system's broke
A word now Irish people No matter where you are Remember our brave rebels In Long Kesh this year
And by civil disobedience Or any other way We'll make a stand until the day Each one of them are free LyricsFreak
