Re- the simplicity of the lyric and ease of singing - that is the problem with the like of 'Scotland the Brave'. It has a stirring tune - great on pipes and brass - but when fitted with words impossible for the public to assimilate and reproduce with vocals no matter what words are fitted. Flower has that simplicity for any drunk to chant and raucously belt out - even if it is dated turgid, slightly anti-English historical drivel. In reality no-one can rise up about very much these days as we live in a woke, police state, with governments of all persuasions who don't take kindly to that kind of thing. Plus there is really no such thing as a single nation, we are always divided into factions and always have been. It is always an irony to me that the words state that 'those days are past now and in the past they must remain' - then it contradicts itself by talking about rising etc.- whether that be metaphorical or real is left to the singer/listener. Certainly in football terms we really do need hope to rise again!
