Through corridors of darkness black horses ride
Shields in the wind we try to hide
Thousands of soldiers riding over the hills
An not ending river we running for the thrill

At the horizon the sun rises up
Quietly we pray to the God above
To give us the power for the endless fight
To kill all the demons night for night

Back to back and eye to eye
Screaming and fighting our blood runs dry

They will never take our freedom
They will never take our pride
We will fight up to the victory
Day by day and side by side
They will never take our freedom
They will never take our lives
United we will stand - united we will die
And we paid in blood - paid in blood

In the battle of Falkirk I see my friends die
They are lying around and their souls fly high
The axe in my hands, here I stand still alive
My rebellion is over - it's my fate to survive

Back to back and eye to eye
Screaming and fighting our blood runs dry

They will never take our freedom
They will never take our pride
We will fight up to the victory
Day by day and side by side
They will never take our freedom
They will never take our lives
United we will stand - united we will die
And we paid in blood - paid in blood

Do you remember, the first son and king
Longshanks we call him, death he will bring
As we see him coming we running for our lives
At the end of the day we pay for their lies

Listen my friend his name carved in stone
My skin burned the sun, no fear we show

Raise your swords high Hammer of the Scots
We're like thunder from the sky
Hammer of the Scots hold your flags high
Hammer of the Scots we are born to die

He overcomes our land, steals our dream
Of freedom and peace, he invites us to scream
For all the dead corpses, he leaves behind
A killing machine, with anger in mind

Watch out my friend see the flag of hate
Run for your life it's your final fate

Raise your swords high Hammer of the Scots
We're like thunder from the sky
Hammer of the Scots hold your flags high
Hammer of the Scots we are born to die

A nameless day in the mist
There is no right to exist
Silent screams are calling for vengeance
Wind is blowing through my wounded heart

Leaving my life behind
Leaving my hope
Searching the peace of mind

Can't you hear it. Can't you see
Magic islands, haunted hills
Where I live and dwell
Wherever I may wander, wherever I rove
My sunset and my dawn
Highland farewell

Blood soaked snow on my soul
Deeper I fall into this wide black hole
My demons guide me to my inner depth
Where I lay down myself to death

Leaving my life behind
Leaving my hope
Searching the peace of mind

Can't you hear it. Can't you see
Magic islands, haunted hills
Where I live and dwell
Wherever I may wander, wherever I rove
My sunset and my dawn
Highland farewell

Over the mountains and far away
Our women and children wait and pray
Where the grass is so green and water so clear
They are living in harmony and without fear

One day they came out of the dark
We were on a hunt and the dogs they barked
They murdered our families and tore us apart
As we saw them bleeding we lost our hearts

The clans will rise again. Rise
We reign with steel and pain

Tortured minds, our souls are screaming
From the woods the wolves are howling
We ride on the ground of our beloved land
In rage and anger we walk hand in hand

We fall in front spinning our plails
We kill like insane and we never fail
We yelling the war cry of the clan McLeod
The enemies run and we shout out proud

The clans will rise again. Rise
We reign with steel and pain
The clans will rise again. Rise
Revenge in our veins

They came across the sea from a land of cold and ice
With steel and blood we paid, we paid a very high price
Took us as slaves and suppressed our souls
Till we fought them back, took them under control
Battle cries we heard calling out of the distance
Cursed them to hell as their bow fought the swell
Our ship stomped like a moth in the firelight
They flee like dirty dogs in the darkness of the night

We never never never ran away
Forever ever ever we will stay

From East to West, from North to South
Brave men followed me
Across the land, across the sea
We died to be free
We will never be strangers
We will never surrender
As rebels we came
But we are still the same

In our hearts we're free, defeated our land
Kilted soldiers stormed, blood ran into the sand
We carried out the flag, against all enemies
We destroyed the tyrants, for our victories

We never never never ran away
Forever ever ever we will stay

From East to West, from North to South
Brave men followed me
Across the land, across the sea
We died to be free
We will never be strangers
We will never surrender
As rebels we came
But we are still the same

Through woods and stones they crept like snakes
Hunted our hives and fished from our lakes
They stepped on our land and this was forbidden
They didn't see us cause we were hidden

In one fatal moment we caught them all
Captured and imprisoned in the mighty hall
Bound and gagged we brought them to court
We executed thirty six, at our fort

We take revenge for the atrocities
Drinking the blood of our enemies

From highlands to lowlands
Brothers in mind
We love and we hate
We fight till we die
We're marching we're riding
For glory and fame
In the valley of tears
Blood is our name

Out of the darkness they came with murder in mind
The Campbell gave orders the King had signed
Put all to the sword and bring them to death
Put on their graves the Laurel wreath

We take revenge for the atrocities
Drinking the blood of our enemies

From highlands to lowlands
Brothers in mind
We love and we hate
We fight till we die
We're marching we're riding
For glory and fame
In the valley of tears
Blood is our name

With power and glory I fought
In one silent moment I was caught
In my prison I sit with pride
I wait for my last lonely ride

Nobles betrayed me behind my back
Now I hang here on my neck
The crowd observes my pain with desire
In the middle of the mob I see this liar

From church and kings I was betrayed
Eye to eye with hagmans blade
Gods and demons belong to me
I fight til my heart will be free

Execution - execution
My last words are revolution
Execution - execution
We never denied our evolution

Guilty they called me, strangled by hanging
Released the cord, as I was still alive
Eviscerated and beheaded
Haunting minutes before I've to die

From church and king I was betrayed
Eye to eye with hagmans blade
Gods and demons belong to me
I fight til my heart will be free

Execution - execution
My last words are revolution
Execution - execution
We never denied our evolution
Execution - execution
My last words are revolution
Execution - execution
We heading out for retribution

Hang them higher these sons of a bitch
Faceless bastards born from a witch
Cold wind and rain, in the black of the night
Million shining stars our guarding light

Hate, pain and anger
I cast the spell
Hate, pain and anger
I burn in hell

When ever I dream
When ever I scream
Passion reigns in my veins
When ever I die
My soul flies high
Whom the gods love die young
Whom the gods love die young

White and blue the colors of freedom
We scream out loud the words of wisdom
We fight like hell for courage and pride
Only god in heaven knows for what we died

Hate, pain and anger
I cast the spell
Hate, pain and anger
I burn in hell

When ever I dream
When ever I scream
Passion reigns in my veins
When ever I die
My soul flies high
Whom the gods love die young
Whom the gods love die young

Six battles I've lost in the fields of fight
Six times I've failed for freedom's right
many were slain for crown and the king
Six times he tried to spin the web
Six times he failed at the silver thread
My orphaned land is lying in the sand

The wind howled louder
Fire had died down
I'm lying on my bed
With the spider around

Spider - spider
What have you done
Spider - spider
The battle has begun

His courage and skill brought back the will
For my return at Bannockburn
We'll never be slaves up to our graves

The wind howled louder
Fire had died down
I'm lying on my bed
With the spider around

Spider - spider
What have you done
Spider - spider
The battle has begun
Spider - spider
What have you done
Spider - spider
The battle has been won

For glory and fame I wandered the Earth
And now I've come back to the place of my birth
Where shadows turn human see mountain streams
Ghosts of buried centuries in my shattered dreams

Wild winds, heavy rain
Beneath Scottish skies
Sad faces, bloody reigns
But shining eyes

I play the tunes for my brothers and Glen
The woods of my childhood call me again
For the colours of freedom so far I did roam
Cause I'm the piper and I coming home

The sound of the drums from the hills far away
Like a thunder they roar and call me to stay
As a sailor a soldier as a brave true ancient Scot
I play tunes for the freedom for a life full of rock

Wild winds, heavy rain
Beneath Scottish skies
Sad faces, bloody reigns
But shining eyes

I play the tunes for my brothers and Glen
The woods of my childhood call me again
For the colours of freedom so far I did roam
Cause I'm the piper and I coming home

Every night my heart starts to bleed
When I think about the deepest love I've ever had
Every night I lay down the creed - to kill
My heart and soul are so sad

I will follow you wherever you go
Till moon and stars where wild roses grow
On wings of sorrow we cross the sky
Till we find eachother where souls fly high

When rain turns to blood
I feel sadness inside
I feel the flame that burns in my heart
When rain turns to blood
I cry out your name
On one cold day that tears us apart
When rain turns to blood

Every night I reach for your hand in the rain
When I think about you love of my soul
Every night I feel the evil brings me pain
Haunting nightmares took me under control

I will follow you wherever you go
Till moon and stars where wild roses grow
On wings of sorrow we cross the sky
Till we find eachother where souls fly high

When rain turns to blood
I feel sadness inside
I feel the flame that burns in my heart
When rain turns to blood
I cry out your name
On one cold day that tears us apart
When rain turns to blood

The pipes are calling and roses start falling
From town to town and down the mountain side
Follow the sight and find the place where I´m lying
The winter has come I have to bite

The grave diggers guide me
Through the shattered dreams
The ravens start crying
Without any screams

I rest in peace til you come to me
Please touch my soul my heart will be free
Deep in the grave I hear voices above me
Watch me die under the black cherry tree

I follow my coffin my bones become dust
My glen sings the dutch for a life full of trust
The kiss of death concludes all my sorrow
Procession moves on and there´s no tomorrow

The grave diggers guide me
Through the shattered dreams
The ravens start crying
Without any screams

I rest in peace til you come to me
Please touch my soul my heart will be free
Deep in the grave I hear voices above me
Watch me die under the black cherry tree

The grave diggers guide me
Through the shattered dreams
The ravens start crying
Without any screams

I rest in peace til you come to me
Please touch my soul my heart will be free
Deep in the grave I hear voices above me
Watch me die under the black black cherry tree
