countess - let the river run red lyrics

Loading...

the fight for independence has begun
the stand against the english tyranny
moray and wallace lead us into battle
the struggle of the scots to be free

spearmen and archers, hors+m+n and knights
on abbey craig’s high ground we take our stand
the english soldiers advance on our position
they fight for their wages, we fight for our land

we stand across the forth bearing arms
the single narrow bridge our foe tries to cross
we let half of them reach thе soggy grounds
before our steel will cause thеm many a loss

blood will flow
let the river run red
blood will flow
let the river run red

our first charge meets the enemy head
our second will cut off their desperate retreat
we are outnumbered but our hearts are steel
on this day we will achieve a glorious feat

we slaughter the english faster than they cross
and under their weight we see the bridge give way
many soldiers drown, their army now in chaos
with arrow, sword and spear many a foe we slay
some english still push forward, others do retreat
their cavalry is powerless on the marshy field
relentless we strike against the hated enemy
on this day we demonstrate that we will never yield

blood will flow
let the river run red
blood will flow
let the river run red

the retreating soldiers run into our schiltrons
our mighty pikes and poles obstruct their flight
mercilessly we drive them back into the river
now the english know the scots’ defiant might

the battle now is over and a great victory is ours
soon all the foe’s strongholds in scotland will fall
a streak of victories will make wallace a myth
many of our countrymen will heed freedom’s call

the long fight for sovereignty has only just begun
from wounds sustained on this field moray will die
eight years from now wallace drawn and quartered
but even his death will not smother our freedom cry

the wars of independence will go on for sixty years
a valiant struggle for self+determination
many take up arms to fight the english tyrant
the battle of today to be a lasting inspiration
blood will flow
let the river run red
blood will flow
let the river run red
