Have mercy on the irish.

Armored cars are all around. 
And deadly bombs in London town.

Brothers with different names. 
Playing mason and commie games. 
It´s whites killing whites. 
Catholic of protestant. 
The same blood the same face. 
Of the beautiful Celtic race

The children weep the tears. 
Of a blood stained emerald. 
All the funerals through the years. 
Blood stained emerald.

Of a blood stained emerald. 
All the funerals through the years.

Murder for a border line. 
Still the feud of ´94. 
Children blown away by a mine. 
Stop this obscene war. 
Bury the bad traditions. 
Settle the church divisions

Hear their cry for peace. 
A truce for unity. 
The harps and pipes echo. 
In Belfast and Derry city.
Once foes now come together. 
Racial kinsman are forever

Irish unity, 
Christian unity, 
Irish unity. 
Is white unity. 
White unity.
