Seven Captures Seven Executions
Thomas J. Clarke ,James Connolly,Joseph Plunkett,Thomas MacDonagh,Sean Mae Diarmada,Eamonn Ceannt and P.H.
Pearse
Were seven might souls fighting for the Green White and Gold
Seven revolutionary men already to give their souls
For the almighty and the green white and gold
All set to die by the evil hand of England
To be shot by British troops who enjoyed the sport
Using these seven revolutionary men as target practice with targets over their hearts
So the British soldiers wouldn't miss and see them take their last dying breath
Shot as night was breaking into dawn
So nobody would ever even think they could rebel against the British
Since England ruled Ireland with a cold hearted iron fist
As Thomas J. Clarke, James Connolly, Joseph Plunkett, Thomas MacDonagh, Sean Mae Diarmada, Eamonn Ceannt and P.H. Pearse
Was shot to death by the English
In Kilmainham Gaol Jail in Dublin through the heart
They knew all along that they would be getting the hard end of the stick
While their supporters would get off somewhat easy as long as they didn't do something like this again
Their supporters were allowed to die natural deaths while the seven revolutionary men had to die these gruesome deaths
They knew it was coming because of their revolutionary actions
To separate England from Ireland so they could live their lives as they seen fit
As the seven revolutionary men were blindfolded and positioned to be shot
All they could think was their loved ones their families and friends and hopefully that they would one day follow in their revolutionary
footsteps
As their execution dates were set at different times and dates
It all resulted in being shot just before daybreak
So as the seven revolutionary were shot to death and their souls left the earth
And their blood spilled all over the floor in the courtyards of Kilmainham Gaoul Jail in Dublin
Their souls when somewhere the English couldn't touch them and they could live out equality
A place where the British never ruled Ireland in the first place
