Van Diemen's Land Lyrics
Artist: U2
Album: Rattle & Hum
Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage
Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land

Comments/Interpretations
this song is a really sad song my teacher mr swain has told me all about it
What a beautiful song first heard it mixed in with the fields of athenrye loved it straight away
Edge is such an amazing musician! This song is timeless!
Edge should come to Van Diemans Land one day and perform it.
