Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.

They have nothing in their whole imperial arsenal that can break the spirit of one Irishman who doesn't want to be broken.

They will not criminalise us, rob us of our true identity, steal our individualism, depoliticise us, churn us out as systemised, institutionalised, decent law-abiding robots. Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal.

Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal

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 that we will see the rising of the moon.

We must see our present fight right through to the very end.

We refuse to lie here in dishonor! We are not criminals, but Irishmen! This is the crime of which we stand accused.
