Will Ye Be Proud |
Out of the darkness the torches are comin' |
Clatter of hoofs and torches on roofs |
Young bairns wailin', ships they are sailing |
Burning off our homeland a new land to calm |
Will ye be proud when yer grand fathers turnin' |
Will ye be proud as yer son dies sae well |
Will ye be proud when the last battle’s over |
will ye be proud at yer lifes last remain |
Highland men hangin' by English decree |
Hung by their kilts as a warnin' ta the free |
From a landlord’s voice the Highlands are finished |
Your swords and yer plaid shall be never again |
The targe is torn and the claymore Is blunt |
As is the spirit of those who won’t stand |
Betrayed and dishonoured and robbed of their land |
What has become of a Highland band |
There’s a new day dawning |
For those who are Highland |
Heads held high and proud once again |
Two hundred years of bitter tears mourning |
The country that’s ours must now be again |
