I've always felt the the Rihannsu draw parallels between the Irish and the Japanese, but especially the Irish. So here are some songs that speak to that. Links are the title to each song by Flogging Molly.

Drunken Lullabies:
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again?
Five hundred years like Gelignite have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die? Forgotten freedom burns
Has the shepherd led his lambs astray to the bigot and the gun?

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again?
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singing drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Roisin's eyes turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie in their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago through bars these men made steel?
Is it a great or little thing we fought, knelt a conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again?
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singing drunken lullabies

Ah, well maybe it's the way we're taught
Ah, but maybe it's the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a joy we all lost

Though nothing is left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singing drunken lullabies

I sit and dwell on faces past, like memories seem to fade
No color left but black and white, and soon will all turn gray
But may these shadows rise to walk again with lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each, our hearts shall beat a newfound flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again?
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singing drunken lullabies

'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singing drunken lullabies

Singing drunken lullabies


The Kilburn Highroad:
Many's the day I took for granted
Breathing the air that silenced some
As the north wind blew with its head of thunder
Beating its breast with a war drenched song

Bathe a while, awash in slumber
Cry what's left to sleep
Where you dream of the left you left forever
But pity no more, nor grieve

For we're the kings of it all the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye

We were the kings of the Kilburn High

Listen to the sound of dead men dying
March as they flee but exiled bound
Their ship once sailed no longer anchors
For gone is the green of their hallowed ground

Toast to tears of time's past glories
This ageless clock chime stalls
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
To fly where no others have soared

For we're the kings of it all the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye

We were the kings of the Kilburn High

We were the kings of the Kilburn High

Toast to tears of time's past glories
This ageless clock chime stalls
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
To fly where no others have soared

For we're the kings of it all the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye

For we're the kings of it all the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye

We were the kings of the Kilburn High
We were the kings of the Kilburn
Oh, Mary this London's a wonderful sight

Rebels of the Sacred Heart:
Now I'm aiming for heaven
But probably wind up down in hell
Where upon this altar
I will hang my guilt-ridden head

But it's time I'll take before I begin
Three sheets to the wind, three sheets to the wind
But it's time I'll take before I begin
Three sheets to the wind, three sheets to the wind

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Terrified of the open road
Yeah, where it leads, you never know
But rest assured he'll be on your back
Yeah, the holy ghost through his tongues in black

As the bad dog howls and the young girl cries
The blessed virgin in her proud dad's eye
The albatross hanging around your neck
Is the cross you bear, for your sins he bleeds

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Genuflect all you refugees
Who fled the land, now on guilt you kneel
And say a prayer for those left behind
From beyond the pale to the northern sky

So you saved your shillings and your last sixpence
'Cause in God's name they built a barbed-wire fence
Be glad you sailed for a better day
But don't forget there'll be hell to pay

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Resurrection, no protection
All things life must be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Now bless me father for I have sinned
But it's the same old story again and again and again

Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
From morning to noon to the shadowless night
Ah well, such is the bread of an everyday life
From morning to noon to the shadowless night

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Rebels are we
Though heavy our hearts shall always be
And no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain, no prison shall keep
We're the rebels of the sacred heart

We're the rebels of the sacred heart

Hope this spoke to you. ^-~
