This song isn't so much about Irish history, as the swarm of the Roman Catholic church throughout europe. The reference to being jailed in" Letterfrack " is also about abuse of children in the RC childrens home of the same name .... and Ireland is still not at peace, look at the mindless sectarian killings/ beatings that are still going on ... all in the name of religion !!! The cause of all wars.
