Van Diemen's Land Lyrics - Rattle And Hum (live) - U2

Hold me now, oh hold me now 

Till this hour has gone around 

And I'm gone, on the rising tide 

For to face Van Diemen's land. 

It's a bitter pill I swallow here 

To be rent from one so dear. 

We fought for justice and not for gain 

But the magistrate sent me away. 

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil 

And tear their hands as they tear the soil 

But a day will come in this dawning age 

When an honest man sees an honest wage.

Till this hour has gone around 

And I'm gone on the rising tide 

For to face Van Diemen's Land.
