Ellie Lyrics - Ronan - Ronan Tynan

The time has come to lead the charge 

And I don't want to pray. 

Our dreams that once were full of life 

Now lie here in the fray. 

It's all for king and country, yes. 

I know just who I am. 

My heart lies in the valley, 

My soul rides with the damned. 

Chorus: 

How will they remember me? 

Ellie can you tell? 

The one who swore the traitors' oath, 

The poet mad as Hell. 

And will they fly the Hero's Flag? 

Or know just where I fall? 

Ellie, don't you wonder what's this about at all? 

And all I want is to feel your breath 

so warm against my skin 

Your lips so close 

That I can't breathe 

or take this madness in. 

Ellie, when I close my eyes, 

You're in my every night. 

Knowing that I love you 

somehow makes it worth the fight. 

[Chorus] 

And little did they know that day 

I cried the mourner's tears 

You held me in your ghostly arms 

and took away my fears 

Ellie, can you hear in now 

The blackbird's last refrain. 

Hush, I think it's calling us 

back to the hills of Slane. 

[Chorus]
