Battle Cry

Can you hear the soundThe sound of distant voicesFloating gently 'cross the glenCan you see the peopleThe people gathered 'roundThey're worshipping their kingThey came to hear the storyThey came to sing the songThere's talk of a rebellionThe highlands are aflameFrom the mountains to the seaA prince has come to scotlandTo claim his rightful throneThe seeds of war are sownThey came to hear the storyThey came to sing the songLet me hearLet me hearLet me hear your battlecryLet me hearLet me hearLet me hear your battlecryAn army marches northwardsTo meet the fearless clansmenFor england and st. georgeThe red coats face the tartanThe battle lines are drawnThe musket and the swordThey came to hear the storyThey came to sing the songLet me hearLet me hearLet me hear your battlecryLet me hearLet me hearLet me hear your battlecryMany men have fallenThe prince has had his dayCulloden was the nameTheir battlecry can still be heardTo this very dayFloating gently 'cross the glenThey came to hear the storyThey came to sing the songLet me hearLet me hearLet me hear your battlecry[repeat to end]
