Battle Cry Lyrics

Battle Cry lyrics

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 battlecry

Let me hear, let me hear

Let me hear your battlecry



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



(Repeat *)



Many men have fallen

The prince has had his day

Culloden was the name

Their battlecry can still be heard

To this very day

Floating gently 'cross the glen



(Repeat *)
