Roger Drawdy and The Firestarters is an Irish band who play traditional Irish music and Celtic rock. I own a number of their albums and below is one of my favorite songs that they play. Although the song touches on Irish Nationalism, I think that the songs message will resonant with all European Nationalists.
Stand Today
Men have died for freedom
And many more will fall
It is the very reason
That we are here at all
Men who came before us
Answered to the call
For the sacrifice they’ve made
I will stand todayA land that is divided
Must be united once again
Or to the heroes that have fallen
We will answer in the end
The children of tomorrow
On us now depend
All that I can say is
I will stand todayWe don’t need to be reminded
We can count our fathers graves
We can hear our mothers crying
For the sons they can’t replace
And the victims who’ve laid dying
We will not disgrace
Like the phoenix rising we will have our dayI will stand today
Tiochaidh ar La! (IRISH – Our day will Come!)
