A cloud of smoke came over Belfast,
Another man had died,
And I watched in shock and disbelief
As grown men stood and cried,
But their tears of anger
Soon turned to tears of pride,
As they realised the sacrifice
Of the ten brave men who died.
Ten brave men,
Those ten brave men,
God and Ireland don't forget
Those ten brave men,
Ten brave men.
Stones and bottles and bin lids
Announced the death of each brave man,
Joe McDonnell, Francis Hughes
And MP Bobby Sands,
Women came out together
And they knelt down side by side,
And prayed "God and Ireland don't forget
The ten brave men who died!"
Ten brave men,
Those ten brave men,
God and Ireland don't forget
Those ten brave men.
Ten brave men,
Those ten brave men,
God and Ireland don't forget
Those ten brave men,
Ten brave men.
