Cara Dillon - Hill Of Thieves songtekst

Je score:

For too long time I've been a stranger here
To the hills above Glenshane and your rocks and your rain
Where the silent souls haunt the Priory walls
In the wind they sing, &quot;Come away, come away&quot;

To the murmuring stream with the town below
And the babbling swell of the winding Roe
And you still might hear the great O'Cahan Clan
&quot;Come away&quot;, they say &quot;to the Benedy Glen&quot;

Where the Hound of the Plain has walked this land
And the loneliest mile with a sword in his hand
And his blood runs still in every stream and glen
And his home can be seen from the Hill Of The Thieves

For too long time I've been a stranger here
To the hills above Glenshane and you rocks and your rain
Where the silent souls haunt the Priory walls
In the wind they sing &quot;Come away, come away&quot;

Come away...

Glenshane is een bergpas in Noord-Ierland. De bergpas is vernoemd naar Shane Crosagh O'Mullan, een beruchte struikrover xaan het eind van de 17de/begin 18de eeuw.
O'Cahan Clan is de naam van een belangrijke clan (familie) in Ulster (N.-Ierland). Het dateert al vanaf de Middeleeuwen. Hun bezittingen en die van andere families vormen nu County Londonderry, één van de 6 graafschappen van Noord-Ierland.
Tenslotte de Priory Wall. Het is een overblijfsel van een gebouw uit de 16de eeuw, waarschijnlijk een klooster. Daar is veel over te doen geweest. Hieronder een gedeelte van een song:

Break down the Priory walls
They're speaking shit and taking money
I see our funding falls
Well behind their curtain
Break down the Priory walls
Infiltrate and confirm our visions
Break down the Priory walls
Time to be outspoken

I can hear their scissors cutting corners
As they try to plug that leak
I am tempted to taste their dirty water
To find out what their games are about
Ask a question and they'll talk of health and safety
We're all tired of that crappy excuse
When they can hide their crimes in a legal disguise
They'll smile as they administer abuse

Bring down the Priory walls
Bring down the Priory walls
Bring down the Priory walls
Walls bring down bring down bring down bring down
Bring down bring down break down break down
The Priory walls
Walls walls
