Alba Duisg (Scotland Awake) Lyrics

In the highlands of my homeland Centuries ago, There was a band of brave men Fighting a deadly foe Fighting against the system, Ruled by a tyrant king Fighting for their country and their Kith and kin Alba Duisg the people cry The fight for freedom will never die Now we have a different foe, Will we see freedom I don?t know The battles, they were many with Bloodshed and misery The bravery of these warrior men Was plain for all to see Marching across the hills and glens Hunting the enemy The blood that flowed through their Veins is the same as in you and me Alba Duisg the people cry L The fight for freedom will never die Now we have a different foe, Will we see freedom I hope so The leader he was captured, Taken to London town Tried then mutilated on the Orders of the crown Body parts sent all around as A warning to the Folk This threat it came from the king "Never again shall you revolt" Alba Duisg the people cry The fight for freedom will never die Now we have a different foe, Will we see freedom I don?t know So remember all the martyrs of the Scottish people?s fight All they wanted was their freedom They thought they had that right Seven hundred years later and Things are still the same, But now you?ve got to realize it?s The system that?s to blame Alba Duisg the people cry The fight for freedom will never die Now we have a different foe, Will we see freedom I don?t know Alba Duisg the people cry The fight for freedom will never die Now we have a different foe, Will we see freedom I hope so
