Fair Land Lost

Are you the one that blocked the sun? That fired the bullet from the gun That laughed aloud at what you’d done To this fair land that cash built That sat on high upon your throne Surveying what you bought and owned Unhearing of the anguished moans Of this fair land that cash built Was it you that sowed the seed Nurtured it with savage greed Watched it grow to barb clad weed In this fair land that cash built Did you set the tiger free To spread disease and malady Then killed it with unbridled glee In this fair land that cash built Did you cast your mantle dark Extinguish love and caring heart And dance upon the final spark Of this fair land that cash built You put Cuchulain’s name to shame Sold you’re soul for foolish gain On you’re children ladled pain In this fair land that cash built
