Blood of Bannockburn

2016
Lyrics

Now that our time has come to fight
Scotland must unite
We´ll make a stand on Stirling ground
To put a challenge to the crown
We are one, we have come
We´re here to break and end the occupation
We have our nation’s fate in hand
It’s time we make our final stand

Rally all the clans
Englishmen advance
Blood of Bannockburn
Point of no return

Join the Scottish revolution
Freedom must be won by blood
Now we call for revolution
Play the pipes and cry out loud

We need a king to rule our land
Bruce is in command
It is the crown that’s in his sight
And it´s the reason we will fight
To attack, send them back
And then we´ll see to Bruce’s coronation
We are the Scots with pikes in hand
And we will die to claim our land

Rallied all the clans
Halted English plans
Charge of Bannockburn
Freedom we shall earn

And as the hammer lost its crown
And a weak heir to succeed it
Play the tunes of victory
Play them higher and higher tonight

Wallace showed the way
Led us to this day
Here at Bannockburn
Freedom we have earned

Historic Fact
Scotland was at war with England for its independence. In 1314, the Scots went up against the English army and besieged Stirling Castle. In retaliation, England's King Edward II sent a mighty force to end the siege, but the Scots, led by their King, Robert the Bruce, defeated them at Bannockburn with a much smaller army.
