Oasis/H20 No Talent Show 2008.(No this is not the theme from Braveheart...)Cait and I singing/playing The Foggy Dew.\n\nAs down the glen one Easter morn\nTo a city fair rode I,\nTheir armed lines of marching men\nIn squadrons passed me by.\nNo pipe did hum, no battle drum\nDid sound its loud tattoo\nBut the Angelus\' bells o\'er the Liffey swells\nRang out in the foggy dew.\n\nRightproud and high o\'er a Dublin sky\nHung they out a flag of war\n\'Twas better to die \'neath an Irish sky\nThan at Suvla or Sud el Bar.\nAnd from the plains of Royal Meath\nStrong men came hurrying through;\nWhile Brittania\'s Huns with their long-range guns\nSailed in through the foggy dew.\n\nAnd the bayonetsflashed and the rifles crashed\nAs the incoming soldiers winIn a land of rain seven tongues of flameDid shine o\'er the lines of steelBy each shining blade a vow it was made\'To Ireland we will remain true\'When morning broke still the war flag shookOut its fold to the foggy dew.The bravest fell, and the requiem bell\nRang mournfully and clear\nFor those who died that Easter-tide\nIn the springing of the year.\nWhile the world did gaze with deep amaze\nAt those fearless men but few\nWho bore the fight for freedom\'s light\nMight shine through the foggy dew.\n\nAnd back through theglen I rode again\nAnd my heart with grief was sore\nFor I parted then with valiant men\nWhom I never shall see more\nBut to and fro\nIn my dreams I go\nAnd I oft-times think of you\nFor slavery fled\nOh, glorious dead\nWhen you fell in the foggy dew Celtic, Dew, Foggy, Irish, No, Oasis, Show, Talent, Traditional
