Remembrance For the Brave/Red
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 grayed
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
And the clan fires are burning
In the highlands again
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
And the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
When 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 find us wanting
When our steel’s to the test
I know every man and boy
Will give his best
We stare with defiance
And our eyes are ablaze
We will kill any man who tries
To stand in our way
We’ll cut out their hearts and send them
Back where they came
And 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
And 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 wives we defend
And the lives and the memories of
The proud-hearted men
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
And the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
When the colour of the battlefield is red
For now the last cry of battle
Has returned to the glens
And the clan fires are burning
In the highlands again
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
And the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
When the colour of the battlefield is red
For now the last cry of battle
Has returned to the glens
And 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 wives we defend
And the lives and the memories of
The proud-hearted men
We’ll fight ‘till the flag of
Freedom flies overhead
‘Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red
