Highland Tears lyrics

Screams echoes from the hills

Bagpipes of war, crushing through the night

Fights going on for years

We never give up our rights to live

We are the last, fighting against a past

To be free.

Highland tears

In blood we died

The king is dead all soldiers cried

Highland tears

Flow through our veins

The English killed put us in chains

It is in truth not for glory, not riches,

Not honours that we are fighting for,

But for freedom

For that alone, which no honest man

gives up but with life itself

We are the last fighting against a past

To be free.

Highland tears

In blood we died

The king is dead all soldiers cried

Highland tears

Flow through our veins

The English killed put us in chains

Soldiers, mountains, marshy ground

In freedom we trust, death we found

Bows and spears serve for the barricades

We're fighting for tomorrow, a better decade

Highland tears

In blood we died

The king is dead all soldiers cried

Highland tears

Flow through our veins

The English killed put us in chains
