1000 Years Lyrics - Singles - Cruachan

As I look out across the sea 

I stand proud but am I free? 

A thousand years have come and gone 

I have won, I will go on 

Stand firm against the storm 

I cannot see it but it will come 

And with the ghosts of a million Gaels 

I will rise up, I will prevail 

You can starve my children 

You can kill my fighting man 

Take away my right to freedom 

And when my back is turned you kill again 

You can burn my houses 

Take away all that I have known 

But the seeds are sown 

When the Dane invaded 

The held the Gael with a strangle-hold 

Until Boru joined to clans 

He won the war, re-claimed my lands 

My green fields have been stained red 

From the blood of the Irish dead 

But with this fire that burns inside 

I will always rebel, I will survive 

You can starve my children 

You can kill my fighting man 

Take away my right to freedom 

And when my back is turned you kill again 

You can burn my houses 

Take away all that I have known 

But the seeds are sown
