With Irish Defiance...

For in my sorrow I
weep...

...the good deed without
deceit...

this sacrifice to provide
for all...

has reduced this soul
to little more than a fool...

My soul I command this 
challenge before me...
...with courage I stand...

I will restore with all
my might...

I will repair this hurt
this stress I alone have
caused...

I will restore peace and
harmony once more...

the pressure...
...my pride...has ruined
the core of my 
lifes balance inside...

...this material world...
tempts us all...I will
not look back...

...this will this determination
this Irish defiance back on track...
