LYRICS:

The mist rolling in from the lochs to the Spey
Will rise from the valleys as the dawn comes again
We stand here together and prepare for the fray
When today could leave our history in flames

I look on the faces that oppression has greyed
The scars deep within that mark a lifetime in chains
The stark legacies of a nation have changed
As the history book begins another page

The strong urge to fight that was never overcome
The spirit burning bright that we shielded from the huns
The lost mother tongue never spoken in the light
Will echo in their ears tonight

For now the last cry of battle has returned to the glens
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
We'll fight 'til the flag of freedom flies overhead
Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red

From east where the mountains meet the sea to the west
We are legion united by the cause from the rest
They won't us wanting when our steel's to the test
I know every man and will give his best

We stare with defiance and our eyes are ablaze
We will kill every man who tries to stand in our way
We'll cut out their hearts and send them back where they came
For our claymores will send them to the grave

They can't turn the tide, now the battle has begun
The devil take the man, when his soul is on the run
The land will return to her long forgotten sons
To cherish in our hearts tonight

For now the last cry of battle has returned to the glens
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
It's time for the million cast aside to be free
For we'll drive oppression back into the sea
We'll die for the children and the wives we defend
The lives and the memories of the proud-hearted man
We'll fight 'til the flag of freedom flies overhead
Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red

Whoever put 88 thumbs down about this beautiful song I have my suspicions who they are. They are insane. This song puts shivers up and down my spine. I'm Celtic a true highlander and I'm proud of my heritage.

I've had a sort of paradoxical personality from birth: I have always had a STRONG sense of justice, drawing me towards order, but yet I value my freedom more than almost anything else, which pulls me towards a more chaotic lifestyle; the daily grind will never satisfy me. These traits would logically, and do, push me to fight for equality and civil freedoms with great passion and aggression, but There's another trait of me that I've wizened enough to know I must never abandon: Pacifism. Violence is NEVER the answer, This I know for certain in my soul.

I've almost all my life been confused by these seeming paradoxes in the personality of my heart and soul, But I now know the truth: These Yearnings come from my Irish Blood. Grave Injustices have been forced on my ancestors for generations, but we just want our freedom. We will ALWAYS feel the urge to fight for our homeland, But in truth, what we want and need is peace. A Free Peace when the justice of generations is finally served, and our ancestors no longer yearn for it from their graves. When the children of Ireland and all its neighbors are free to live in Honored Peace, Only then will my Soul be At rest.

However, I know my destiny lies here, on the continent of North America. I know not what Destiny has in store for me exactly, and I won't until my dying day, as it should be, But I know that I must Gather wisdom within my mind and soul, for when the time is right, the peoples I grew up next to will need it.

And so I stay here, In the U.S. of A. I stay here, I learn, I write, I work, I love, and I live. And I know that someday, Destiny will call upon me. And on that day, I must not be afraid. I must go forth with the calls of freedom, justice, action, and pacifism deep in my heart, shouting out in whatever form that day or those days will need of me.

[JakeTraver]

Amazing voice, Leah. Keep up the amazing work.
