Title: The Rising of the Moon - Irish Resistance Song *Music Club*

The ballad takes the tune of another Irish ballad, "The Wearing of the Green" and was first published in Casey's 1866 collection of poems and songs “A Wreath of Shamrocks". The lyrics refer to the outbreak of the 1798 rebellion in county Kildare as United Irish rebels convey the order to rise. The air of hope and optimism associated with the ultimately doomed rebellion was intended to provide inspiration for rebels "Who would follow in their footsteps" preparing to take to the field in another doomed venture, the Fenian rebellion of 1867. The song remains popular and the tune widely recognised in Ireland today as it is often taught in schools, played regularly at official and sporting events and has been covered by a wide variety of musicians. The song is also referenced in the final line of the final entry of Bobby Sands hunger strike diary.

Now come tell me Sean O'Farrell 
Tell me why you hurry so? 
Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen 
And his cheeks were all aglow 
I have orders from the captain 
Get you ready quick and soon 
For the pikes must be together 
At the rising of the moon 

The rising of the moon 
The rising of the moon 
The pikes must be together 
At the rising of the moon 

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell 
Where the gatherin' is to be 
At the old spot by the river 
Quite well known to you and me 
And by way of signal token 
Whistle loud the marching tune 
With your pike upon your shoulder 
At the rising of the moon 

The rising of the moon 
The rising of the moon 
With your pike upon your shoulder 
At the rising of the moon 

Out from many a mud wall cabin 
Eyes were watching through the night 
Many a manly heart was beating 
For the blessed morning light 
Murmurs ran along the valley 
Like the banshee's lonely croon 
And a thousand pikes were flashing 
At the rising of the moon 

The rising of the moon 
The rising of the moon 
A thousand pikes were flashing 
At the rising of the moon 

All along that singing river 
A black mass of men was seen 
And above their shining weapons 
Hung their own beloved green 
Death to every foe and traitor! 
Whistle loud the marching tune 
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom 
'Tis the rising of the moon 

The rising of the moon 
The rising of the moon 
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom 
'Tis the rising of the moon 

The rising of the moon 
The rising of the moon 
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom 
'Tis the rising of the moon

If they aren't able to destroy the desire for freedom, they won't break you. They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show.

It is then we'll see the rising of the moon.

I am a political prisoner. I am a political prisoner because I am a casualty of a perennial war that is being fought between the oppressed Irish people and an alien, oppressive, unwanted regime that refuses to withdraw from our land.

I believe and stand by the God-given right of the Irish nation to sovereign independence, and the right of any Irishman or woman to assert this right in armed revolution. That is why I am incarcerated, naked and tortured.

Would dual-citizens running America's foreign and domestic policies count as "an alien, oppressive, unwanted regime that refuses to withdraw from our land"?
