Alba Gu Bràth Lyrics

We were never allowed heroes
Let down by the silent who chose
We were never allowed heroes
Kept down, never willing to oppose
I watched it die
I watched it killed
By the hands of my people
I watched it squirm in agony
And squeal at the betrayal
I watched it die
I watched it killed
I saw the flag it's torn asunder
I saw the people in the square
And I could taste their anger

I say to you we rise to fight
Stand up for what is your birthright
This thing has stirred the people
Now there's no turning back
This union’s more than fragile
Don't move forward, just cut back
It’s time to storm the castle
It’s time to take things back
This unions more than fragile
Don't move forward, just cut back

Poisoned by their broadcast arrows
Fired into every burgh
Poisoned by their broadcast arrows
March our future to the gallows
I watched it die
I watched it killed
By the hands of my people
I watched it squirm in agony
And squeal at the betrayal
I watched it die
I watched it killed
I saw the flag it's torn asunder
I saw the people in the square
And I could taste their anger

We break in two and lose all sight
Against this rule we must unite
This thing has stirred the people
Now there's no turning back
This union’s more than fragile
Don't move forward, just cut back
It’s time to storm the castle
It’s time to take things back
This unions more than fragile
Don't move forward, just cut back

Alba
Gu
Bràth

It was was left to the cast of a die
Weighed heavily to one side

My people gripped by madness
‘Til the rocks melt in the sun
My people racked with sadness
‘Til the rocks melt in the sun
