Heroes From Our Past Lyrics - Sing Loud, Sing Proud - Dropkick Murphys

And so the story's told of a hearty group of men it's a tale of their triumphs and their woes. 

Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle 

That inspires men to stand up for their rights. 

And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world 

We can look back to these heroes of our past. 

With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will, 

No tyranny would quell them in their task. 

It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message: 

That time and tide waiteth for no man. 

So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome, 

It's for freedom and for happiness they toiled. 

An in looking to the future, 

We can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all. 

It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest. 

It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask. 

So come on rally round this brave and valiant cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core. 

With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men Faugh-an-ballagh, 

Clear the way, me boys!! 

Under perilous conditions with small hope of success they left behind the lives that they once led 

And by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength 

They cleared the way for the people of today 

So when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark 

And thank the men whose struggle broke the chain it's a long road up ahead of us 

Let's forge on while we're strong and leave our mark of honor once again
