Up the republic they raise their battle cry

Pearse and mcdermott will pray for you on high

Eager and ready for love of you they die

Proud march the soldiers of the rearguard

Legion of the rearguard

Answering ireland's call

Hark their martial tramp is heard

From cork to donegal

Wolfe love and emmett guide you

Though your task be hard

De valera leads you

Soldiers of the legion of the rearguard

Glorious the morning

Through flame and shot and shell

Now rally ireland

Your sons who love you well

Pledged they'll defend you

Through death or prison cell

Wait for the soldiers of the rearguard

Legion of the rearguard

Answering ireland's call

Hark their martial tramp is heard

From cork to donegal

Wolfe love and emmett guide you

Though your task be hard

De valera leads you

Soldiers of the legion of the rearguard

Crimson the roadside

The prison wall they climb

Proof of their valor

Go sleep in peace ye brave

Comrade tread lightly

You're near a hero's grave

Proud die the soldiers of the rearguard

Legion of the rearguard

Answering ireland's call

Hark their martial tramp is heard

From cork to donegal

Wolfe love and emmett guide you

Though your task be hard

De valera leads you

Soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
