Sword of the Highlands lyrics

Here they lie, gone not forgotten

All the clans from days long ago

In this ground, they rest altogether

Why they fought and died?

Shall all come to know.

Born with a right

To carry the sword of our fathers,

Who fell with their brothers

And ours there below.

They may raise our cities,

They may burn the land,

We may die in thousands,

They will understand.

We will not surrender,

Not one boy or man.

Come, take the sword of the highlands

From my cold dead hands.

He said:

Carry the fight on for me

For all the sons of the highlands.

Fight for the right to be free,

Never be owned.

They may raise our cities,

They may burn the land,

We may die in thousands,

They will understand.

We will not surrender,

Not one boy or man.

Come, take the sword of the highlands

From my cold dead hands.

He said:

Carry the fight on for me

For all the sons of the highlands.

Fight for the right to be free,

Never be owned.

Carry the fight on for me

For all the sons of the highlands.

Fight for the right to be free,

Never be owned.

Carry the fight on for me

For all the sons of the highlands.

Fight for the right to be free,

Never be owned.

We will not surrender,

Not one boy or man.

Come, take the sword of the highlands

From my cold dead hands.
