This video shows some of the must see places if you get the chance to visit Ireland. It also shows scenes of places I imagined as a child when I would read about them. They still have that fantasy I imagined as a child.
I have heard the stories of how St. Patrick drove the snakes away from Ireland, just as everyone else has. But as an adult, I wanted to know rhe real reason why there are no snakes in Ireland. Yhis video makes much more sense than that old fairy tail.
A deleted scene featuring the "Song of the Rebel Irish", from the film "Gods and Generals". Lyrics are below. LYRICS: Oh, not now for songs of a nation's wrongs, not the groans of starving labor; Let the rifle ring and the bullet sing to the clash of the flashing sabre! There are Irish ranks on the tented banks of Columbia's guarded ocean; And an iron clank from flank to flank tells of armed men in motion. The Irish green shall again be seen as our Irish fathers bore it, A burning wind from the South behind, and the Yankee rout before it! O'Neil's red hand shall purge the land- Rain a fire on men and cattle, Till the Lincoln snakes in their own cold lakes Plunge from the blaze of battle. Whoe'er shall march by triumphal arch Whoe'er may swell the slaughter, Our drums shall roll from the Capitol O'er Potomac's fateful water! Rise, bleeding ghosts, to the Lord of Hosts For judgement final and solemn; Your fanatic horde to the edge if the sword Is doomed line, square, and column!
