    Lyrics:
    The minstrel boy to the war is gone
    In the ranks of death you'll find him
    His father's sword he has girded on
    And his wild harp slung behind him
    "Land of Song!" said the warrior bard
    Tho' all the world betrays thee
    One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard
    One faithful harp shall praise thee!
    The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
    Could not bring his proud soul under
    The harp he wore ne'er spoke again
    For he tore its chords asunder
    And said "No chains shall sully thee
    Thou soul of love and bravery!
    Thy songs were made for the pure and free
    They shall never sound in slavery!”

      @@Yand_Durinul I think the lone choir of two wounded warriors is much more "sincere" to the song than this, which just seems overblown. Wish there was a similar version to TNGs but with the whole lyrics.

      In the USA they call it Black Hawk Down they re did it for a movie of that name. But I am Irish and I know the history of the song. Folks get some history when I tell them. Today is Veterans day it is being played alot over here. I just love it and the story behind it. The words are lovely.

    Its a dirge from the 1848 rebellion written in tribute to his friends from Trinity College who fell or were executed
    And what do they lead with the music of remembrance for the fallen at Cenotaph
    The Minstrel Boy
    Not ever forgetting the 19th irish division
    Count John sings it beautifully
    As is
    Nearer my god to thee
