TEN

TEN - Red lyrics

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 greyed

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

The clan fires are burning in the highlands again

We'll fight ‘til the flag of freedom files overhead

Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead

And 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 us wanting when our steel's to the test

I know every man and will give his best

We stare with defiance and our eyes are ablaze

We will kill every man who tries to stand in our way

We'll cut out their hearts and send them back where they came

For 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

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 the wives we defend

The lives and the memories of the proud-hearted man

We'll fight ‘til the flag of freedom files overhead

Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead

And the colour of the battlefield is red
