SKILTRON LYRICS

1. Brosnachadh

Our passion comes straight from the heart
A feeling that is stronger than any other
A fire within impossible to extinguish

As the blood runs through our veins
This rebellion will keep its march

Not to sue for peace
But to fight for what is ours!

2. Lion Rampant

Brave, strong, bold and wild
Roaring loud his battle cry
Red lion ready to crush
Thirsty for enemies' blood

Flying the flag of the Lion Rampant
Carried to war - Eager to fight
Standing our ground where we'll live and you'll die
Leading the army - The Lion Rampant

Unwilling to agree the terms
Uncaring for the banner of truce
Our fury is wildly unleashed
We aren't here to sue for peace

The thistle is blooming to the open sky
Bagging Ben Nevis then heading to Fife
The truth is in the one who has
The real passion of the Highland Clans

Flying the flag of The Lion Rampant
Carried to war - eager to fight
Standing our ground where we'll live and you'll die
Leading the army - the Lion Rampant

3. The Swordmaker

He came from the Highlands of the north
That's where he got his father's temper
Devoting his life and working hard
The hammer is falling again!

Skilled in the art of forging steel
Shaping the blade of the ultimate sword

The Swordmaker
Giving the Clan the weapons to fight
The Swordmaker
Leaving his personal unique stamp

Now settled on the Lothian Fields
The Handle remains fit and strong
With his tireless hands, despite the time
Sharpened and ready to kill!

Skilled in the art of forging steel
Shaping the blade of the ultimate sword

The Swordmaker
Giving the Clan the weapons to fight
The Swordmaker
Leaving his personal unique stamp

4. On The Trail Of David Ross

In southern Glasgow he was born
With the name of David Ross
Inspired by those who'd fought before
He took a pen as strong as a sword

First was Wallace then came Bruce
Bonnie Prince and many more
Mounted on his two-wheeled horse
Riding every single road

Down to London he did march
To pay tribute to the great hero
An epic journey to Smithfield
And he made it!

On the rail of David Ross we are
And we'll keep his legacy alive
On the trail of David Ross we stand
As he did for Scottish freedom

Fighting bravely for his roots
Over hills and glens he walked
Crossing rivers, sailing lochs
And enjoying a fine Scotch

He wrote of Wallace, Rob the Bruce
And Charlie Stuart - Scottish Lore
Mounted on his two-wheeled horse
Proud warrior in hiking-boots

And today is time to give
Respect to him for what he did
While all men die not many live!

On the trail of David Ross we are
And we'll keep his legacy alive
On the trail of David Ross we stand
As he did for Scottish freedom

5. Besieged By Fire

You just fucked with the wrong bull
And now you'll learn a real lesson
I will teach you who I am
And why you'll never be like me

Your fate has been sealed
Your game has ended
Surrounded by blazes
You are crying like a bitch

Besieged by fire
Too late to beg
The flames will burn you
Burn you to death

And it won't be enough
To see your body after it's been burned
I'm going to pulverize your bones
Making you disappear
From the face of the earth
And no trace of you will remain

Besieged by fire
Too late to beg
The flames will burn you
Burn you to death

6. The Brave's Revenge

My revenge is coming this way
Through the same hand that built this ship
I'm still strong on this path
Holding up my flag!

If you don't see me for a long time
Don't think I have been defeated
I was just saving my strength
Now I'm back again!

The Brave's revenge
The only reason you're still walking
Is 'cause I'd rather you bleed to death

The Brave's revenge
The Brave's revenge
I'm gonna let you bleed to death
Then I'll be delighted to dance on your grave

You're just a bad replication
Without any imagination
A hilarious fool copycat
And like that you will die!

You quit your god then quit your tunes
What is the next thing you'll give up?
You never had what it takes
That's our difference!

The Brave's revenge
The only reason you're still walking
Is 'cause I'd rather you bleed to death

The Brave's revenge
The Brave's revenge
I'm gonna let you bleed to death
Then I'll be delighted to dance on your grave

My bagpipes sounded first
Yours are just a pipe dream

So, you think you are a warrior?
Face me! And then you will see
I'm gonna rip off your head
That's what you deserve!

I advise you to be careful
Your reckoning day is coming
You'll end up falling, I know
'cause you don't have the balls!

The Brave's revenge
The only reason you're still walking
Is 'cause I'd rather you bleed to death

The Brave's revenge
The Brave's revenge
I'm gonna let you bleed to death
Then I'll be delighted to dance on your grave

8. The Rabbit Who Wanted To Be A Wolf

Walking in the meadows
Eating the grass
There is a rabbit
With no talent or light

You are not going to last
Living in my footsteps
The rope is getting thinner
And this will be your end

Looking from below
Squeaking with envy
Wishing me to fall
You just can't be quiet

You desire what I have
It's something you can't buy
It takes years to earn it
With work and sacrifice

The rabbit who wanted to be a wolf
Born to be a whistle, don't get to be a horn
The rabbit had to learn the hard way
And now he knows this is my place

The friends of the rabbit
As stubborn as him
They're cut from the same cloth
Like father, like son

Maybe in the end
You'll be a bit smart
And finally realize
Only the strongest prevail

The rabbit who wanted to be a wolf
Born to be a whistle, don't get to be a horn
The rabbit had to learn the hard way
And now he knows this is my place

9. Loyal We Will Stand

We've been marching together
We've been sharing this way
Always true to our ideals
Today we are still here

Without betraying our feelings
Like many others did
Our trail will remain forever
Like the fire and wind

Rebel blood in our veins
Since the very first day
Side by side we are standing
We are forging our fate

Many will fall - Only a few win
We'll keep on marching until our last breath
Reaching the top - The strength of our will
Loyal we will stand

There were those who tried to
Get us away from here
Now they see that their attempt
Has backfired on them

We are keeping the treasure
That they'll never have
Our honor is spotless
We have signed in blood

With snares and bad faith
They have built their sentence
Sinking deep into their failure
And nobody cares

Many will fall - Only a few win
We'll keep on marching until our last breath
Reaching the top - The strength of our will
Loyal we will stand

10. Prestonpans 1745

In May the British army was summoned by their King
And sent towards the continent to fight against the French
Finding defeat at The Battle of Fontenoy
They're killed by the thousands

Bonnie Prince then took his chances
Leading the Jacobite Rising
Marching with his men straight down
To the Lowland's Fields

Trying to stop this rebellion
John Cope went to Fort Augustus
But he failed in the intention
Of persuading the Highlanders

Armies march in Prestopans
Stuart and Murray lead the Clans
Pipes and war cries guide the steps
Waiting for the Highland Charge

Armies fight in Prestonpans
For the glory, for the pride
Pipes and war cries sounding loud
All over the battleground

Edinburgh town now belongs to Charles
Brave son of James Francis Edward Stuart
In his hands the crown will shine
Supported by the Clans
By the Firth of Forth, Charlie took his throne

Armies march in Prestonpans
Stuart and Murray lead the Clans
Pipes and war cries guide the steps
Waiting for the Highland Charge

Armies fight in Prestonpans
For the glory, for the pride
Pipes and war cries sounding loud
All over the battleground
