Who leads us through fire and frost? Iosa! Our greatest, never lost! Who inspires our banners high? Iosa! To the mountains, to the sky! Who guides our hands in every fight? Iosa! Our shield, our light! Festivals, wars, and ranks we claim, All for Iosa! We praise your name! From mountain high to ocean deep, Through shadowed woods where spirits creep, We lift our banners, clash our blades, In every heart, your glory stays. All for Iosa! our songs arise, All for Iosa! beneath these skies, Through fire, through frost, through endless night, We march and fight for Iosa’s light! The dwarf in hall and knight on steed, The paragon who dares great deeds, Our festivals, our wars, our ranks, our call, All echo the name that binds us all. All for Iosa! our voices ring, All for Iosa! let the banners swing, Through storm and strife, our spirits soar, For Iosa now and evermore! When shadows gather and hope seems small, We hear your call, we rise, we brawl. No foe, no fear, can sway our zeal, For nothing lives beyond All for Iosa! O sacred land of emerald green, Where Pádraig walked and souls were seen, The shamrock blooms, the crosses rise, Your light shines bright in Irish skies. Through glen and bog, through hill and strand, We raise our hearts across this land, In song, in prayer, our banners wave, All for Iosa! Strong to save. From sacred steeple to pilgrim’s road, Your light shines bright on every load. Oaths we swear, and prayers we raise, Through every trial, we sing your praise. Raise the cup, the hammer, the sword, Sing the glory of our Lord, In song, in story, in legend true, Great dwarfs and heroes, all for Iosa! The sons of Éire, bold and free, By saint and sage, by hearth and sea, Through every fight, their courage calls, All for Iosa! Within these walls. Through tempest wild and darkest night, We march with faith, our hearts alight. No chasm deep, no peak too high, Shall break our vow beneath the sky. The bells they ring, the choirs ascend, Through every hall, your name we send. In tale and song, in chant and psalm, We find our strength, we know your calm. All for Iosa! All for Iosa! All for Iosa! From dawn to dusk, from rise to fall, All for Iosa! Our hearts, our all! A gain, a gain, for blood, rank, and fame! A gain, a gain, for Iosa’s name! All for Iosa! For Iosa! Iosa is for all! From holy hill to stormy shore, The faithful rise and spirits soar. In Ireland’s light, in Pádraig’s way, We honor Iosa, night and day. All for Iosa! All for Iosa! All for Iosa! Our shield, our song, our sacred call, All for Iosa! For one and all!
