Battle Cry

Can you hear the sound

The sound of distant voices

Floating gently cross the glen

Can you see the people

The people gathered round

They're worshipping their king

They came to hear the story

They came to sing the song

There's talk of a rebellion

The highlands are aflame

From the mountains to the sea

A prince has come to Scotland

To claim his rightful throne

The seeds of war are sown

They came to hear the story

They came to sing the song

Let me hear let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

Let me hear let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

An army marches northwards

To meet the fearless clansmen

For England and St George

The red coats face the tartan

The battle lines are drawn

The musket and the sword

They came to hear the story

They came to sing the song

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry cry cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

Many men have fallen

The prince had his day

Culloden was the name

Their battle cry can still be heard

To this very day

Floating gently cross the glen

They came to hear the story

They came to sing the song

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry cry cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry cry cry cry

Let me hear

Let me hear

Let me hear your battle cry
