As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet, all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me Chorus: Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand, The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this Dear land But when Pádhraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O. I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Chorus: Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I love so much that all I could see his blood upon the Rose. Chorus: Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

[@skippership7]

It’s such a shame that people don’t know about or have forgotten the tragic story of Grace’s sister Muriel, which in some ways is as sad if not more so than Graces story and of course are events that increased the devastation and sense of loss for Grace herself and the children. Sad times indeed but a period of history the Irish people can be so proud of, times and events that still stand as a beacon of light for Irish freedom. It is their memory and deeds that keep the flame of liberty alive.

Monumental. Magnificent and everything an Irishman could ever ask for. The true love of his woman and his dedication to his beliefs. You can't import that from any of those false flag nations. Our heroes were Irishmen. No nation on this earth have the hearts of Irishmen.

[@benmoriarty4853]

Please remember the start of the 1916 Proclamation *Irishmen and Irishwomen* and remember those brave Irish women, 272 of whom fought during the Easter Rising. Our heroes were both Irishmen and Irishwomen.

[@benmoriarty4853]

@@Robbikelly Where does he imply that, where does he say that our heroes were Irishmen and “Irishwomen”? In fact if you look at Jan 22 the true hearts of the Irish Republic were 100% of the women but not 100% of the men.

I'd put that on my CV. Strong recommendation that you're a quality human.

[@nbenefiel]

I think that of all the stupid things England has done in Ireland, the drawn out executions of the leaders of 1916 was the dumbest. Before the executions, most Irish were pretty indifferent to rebellion. After the killings, especially that of James Connelly who was seriously injured and had to be carried in a stretcher and tied to a chair to be shot, Ireland got a massive surge to obtain freedom.

"Will they say we failed?" None of the men of 1916 failed. On the contrary, given the state of Ireland in 2022, it is WE who have failed them.

We, in 2023 are a monument to the success of the men of 1916, things may not be perfect but we have done pretty damn good. Fuckin heartbreaking song though.

[@malicant123]

@@tom_anderson If we were having this conversation in the 1990s, I would have agreed with you. However, look at the country today. We're ruled over by psychopaths, lunatics and pension collectors. Younger generations increasingly cannot afford housing, taxes are through the roof and we have a mountain of debt withal. There are also many things that I can't mention on youtube, but do you really think our Founding Fathers wanted something like the hate speech bill to exist?

[@thomascannan1033]

As an immensely proud Irish-American, Grace is one of my dearest songs, taught it to my children (My daughter's middle name is Grace) as toddlers. Together as a family we traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland and learned and walked the grounds of the GPO and Kilmainham Goal, me as a grand-child and namesake for a 1916 Uprising Survivor and my children, my son is also a namesake of his great grandfather. Fast forward to 2016 my son a Sgt. in the United States Marines Corps attended the 100th Anniversary celebration of the uprising as a member of then Vice-President Biden's security detail, walking the street toting a gun just like his Great Grandfather that day in 1916. I still get chills when I hear this song and yes I do tear up.
