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 worshiping 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
Many men have fallen The prince has 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
