Ode To The Fallen

This song is dedicated to the memories of Sean Kelly, Jon Kolek,
and all those others who fell before their time.


Since the day that we met
We were brothers in arms
In the taverns we drank
In our fields we farmed

From chasin’ the lasses
And choosin’ our wives
To takin’ up arms
And defendin’ their lives

CHORUS
For as I sit here in the tavern
Rememberin’ thee
With the same old sweet sentiment
You would for me

I raise my mug high lad
For brothers were we
I’ll drink one for meself
Then I’ll drink one for thee

Think o’ ladies we loved
And of battles we won
There are times my mind slips
I forget that you’re gone

Since the day that you fell
Many seasons have passed
But as brothers in arms
We might still share a glass

CHORUS

On occasion we all gather
‘Round at your stones
For no man live or dead
Ought be drinkin’ alone

We all wish you peace lad
Wherever you be
If it’s not too much bother
Then drink one for me

CHORUS

We all wish you peace lad
Wherever you be
I’ll drink one for meself
Then I’ll drink one for thee
