The Ghost

How did it feel on that night, the creek ran blood red?
Did it stay with him all his life, and follow to his death?
Did he feel the ghost behind the trees, could he keep his family safe?
Did it make him a better man or did he falter in his faith?
Chorus:
imprisoned by the demons, bravery without glory
He’d storm castles for you
Did it give him strength or did it take his dreams? Did he pass it on to me?
Was there fear behind those fearless eyes? What did he think, what did he see?
Was there a strong hand, a call for help on his journey home?
Like the strong hands that lifted me and filled hearts with song
Chorus:
imprisoned by the demons, bravery without glory
He’d storm castles for you
honor defended, heroes without a story
storm castles for you
In my dreams, reality is what makes you see
The foreman stood, the howling winds, the ghost was in the trees
sons, I’m proud to have you by my side and what you have become
Stand tall boys, the ghost will fall but you must act as one
Chorus:
imprisoned by the demons, bravery without glory
He’d storm castles for you
honor defended, heroes without a story
storm castles for you

Foggy Dew
04:34

As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew
Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew
Their bravest fell and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the
Springing of the year
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
And back through the glen, I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see n'more
But to and fro in my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled, O glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew
